Midland's Own Carter Hoffman: Powerlifting Success and a Potential Path to Ministry

Carter Hoffman, a junior Business Administration major from Clear Lake, South Dakota, started powerlifting in his senior year of high school. Initially, he played various sports including football and lacrosse. A rival football coach, who also ran a powerlifting club, introduced him to the sport. Carter quickly excelled, breaking two state records by the end of his high school career.

In college at Midland, Carter joined the powerlifting team after encouragement from Carter Trowbridge, a former rival and now a teammate. The excellent facilities and supportive environment at Midland motivated him to continue powerlifting at the collegiate level. His efforts led to a third-place finish in the Men’s Raw division at a national tournament in Atlanta, Georgia.

Carter values the camaraderie and support he finds in powerlifting. He appreciates the encouragement from fellow athletes and the friendships formed at competitions. This supportive network has contributed to his enjoyment and success in the sport.

Beyond athletics, Midland College has facilitated Carter's personal and spiritual growth. The small class sizes and close community have helped him build strong relationships with professors and peers. He has become more involved in religious activities, leading a Bible study group and participating in groups like Cru.
