JOSEPH HONG AND TRAVIS RINER

STATS: Midland Valley High School seniors

WHAT: Dynamic duo on the football field, on the track and in the weight room.

THEIR STORIES: They put the "up" in pickups -- they can literally lift a truck.

Joseph, at 185 pounds, has been region champion for two years in weightlifting.

He lifts 350 pounds and squats 500 pounds.

Travis weighs in at 215 pounds, and can squat 500 and lift 375 pounds.

Both compete in the shot-put and discus for the track team. Each can put the shot about 40 yards and throw the discus about 140 feet.

Joseph has been an offensive lineman for Midland Valley's football team since his freshman year, and Travis served as a stage hand for the Miss Midland Valley pageant.

Travis plans to attend Newberry College in Newberry, S.C., in the fall, and Joseph is undecided about his plans.
