Izzy Zach didn’t make it to the podium at the 3A state weightlifting meet a year ago. But oh what a difference a year makes for one of Navarre’s standout lifters.
Zach sat on the floor of the RP Funding Center in Lakeland Friday during the awards ceremony, wearing a medal around her neck and a smile on her face, savoring the thrill of being a state champion for the first time.
