The seventh bi-annual Speed and Strength Training competition kicks off at 6 p.m. tonight at Nikiski High School.
The event that pits the strongest and fastest high school athletes against each other will features three disciplines — the back squat, clean and snatch, as well as a slightly modified lifting version of the popular Fight Gone Bad competition. Students involved in the curriculum from Kenai Central, Soldotna and Nikiski will be competing.
The event is free of charge.
