Casey Burgener (born August 15, 1982) is a weightlifter for the United States. His coaches are Mike Burgener and Paul Fleschler. He was born to Leslie Burgener, who lives in the San Diego area.
Burgener initially was to compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics, but the US unexpectedly lost one of three country slots when lifters from other countries were disqualified, which changed the results of a qualification event.[1][2]
On April 13, 2012 Burgener was commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy. After serving for five years as a submariner, he is now a lieutenant in the United States Navy, and a training officer at the University of Michigan Naval ROTC unit, where he is charged with physically and mentally developing more than 80 young and proud midshipmen.
