POWERLIFTING RESULTS
2A State Meet @ Conway Springs 3/26
After a strong showing at league, we had all 7 qualified lifters eligible for state. Unfortunately, only three were able to go. Our three young men were able to set five new personal records for themselves. Also, Samuel Drinkard was able to set the new 2A State Meet record for bench in the 181lb class. The previous mark was 305, and Sam bumped it up to 335.
Eddie Delao got 14th in bench, 10th in squat, 10th in clean, and 11th overall in his class. He set PR’s in bench and clean.
Solomon Drinkard got 4th in bench, 10th in squat, 14th in clean, and 9th overall in his class. He set PR’s in squat and bench.
Samuel Drinkard got 1st in bench, 4th in squat, 4th in clean, and 2nd overall in his class. He broke the meet record for bench in the 181lb class, which was set in 2019 at 305, and set the new mark at 335. He set a new PR in clean. He finished 3rd in the Male Heavyweight Meet Champion tally.
Our men finished 19th out of 29 teams.
