POWERLIFTING

The Boys Powerlifting team concluded their season at the highest level of competition last weekend.

Daniel Rodriguez had the best squat in the 220-pound weight class and a 55 pound personal record with 630 pounds. Daniel Rodriguez finished fifth in the State with a total of 1,515 pounds lifted. 

Every single person hit a personal record on one of their lifts. 

Nik Caproni hit a 25 pount personal record on his Squat with 315 pounds. Carlos Saucedo hit a 15 pound personal record on Squat with 425 pounds. Jason Allison hit a 30 pound personal record on his Deadlift with 470 pounds. 

To the seniors, thank you for showing the younger lifters what discipline and hard work is. Couldn’t have had the season we had this year without you setting the example. It’s still YouvsYou. 

Elijah, thank you for your help these last 3 years. For anyone that didn’t know, he has been at every state meet that I have been to. He loves to help and do a lot of the behind the scenes work that makes our team be as efficient and effective as it is.
