This past Saturday, February 11th, the Lyons Powerlifting Team traveled to Larned to compete at their first Powerlifting Meet. There were a total of 148 student-athletes representing 13 schools. Last year's team was a combined total of 4 student-athletes and all attended this same event.
However, this year we were able to take 12 students with 9 of them competing. Every student-athlete hit a personal PR in AT LEAST one individual lift. The lifts that we compete within are Bench Press, Squat, and Power Clean. Each athlete is allowed three attempts within the individual lifts.
Please see the below individuals who received medals for placing in the top three spots for their divisions:
