Weak, but on fire.

On Sunday April 15, 2012, Weintraub and his teammates met at Cal State University of
Fullerton for the “Big West Challenge.”
The meet has become a historical event for forty years, where students
from UCSB, UCI, CSULB, and CSULF are only allowed to participate. The previous
week, Weintraub took time off from working out to rehab his knee. In result,
his legs remained in a relaxed state of mind and were not prepared for
competing. The athlete competed first in discus and then shot put immediately after. However, he felt as though he threw “ugly.” The athlete explains that his legs felt “weak, but on fire
from the pain.” Weintraub’s coaches were very upset with his performance,
because they are aware of his abilities. Although his coaches and Weintraub
believe it was not his best performance, he placed first in both meets, earning
CSULB 20 points. The injuries on his knees have caused many setbacks for the
athlete and highly impacted his physical and mental well being. Photo Credit: Weintraub Photography
