She won the title of "Queen Kong" winning her 3rd overall King Kong Grip Challenge title and she just won a World Championship at the Olympia for Armlifting USA. Sarah is known throughout the grip community for being extremely strong and consistent. Although she is a household name in the grip strength world today, she didn't start that way.

She's also active in her community of Glenrock, Wyoming with the Glenrock Barbell Club. Her and Her husband Jim help coach and work with lifters of all sports and all ages.
