Power Lifting:

 

Two Shelbyville Lady Dragons picked up gold medals and state championships at last week’s Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association State Meet in Corpus Christi in the Class 2A competition. Shelbyville’s Harlie Hagler was first in the 181 lb. division and Katie Casey in the 220 lb. division. Hagler had 910 lbs. total weight lifted, while Casey finished with 955 lbs. As a team, the Lady Dragons were third overall, missing second place by a point.

 

Joaquin Lady Ram Jaz Atkins was fourth in the 181 lb. division with 815 lbs. lifted. Desere Cooper bombed out.

 

Other Shelbyville finishes included: Cleosha Jeter-6^th; Hannah hall 9^th; Savannah Talbert 4^th; and Kennedy Parker 6^th. Tristin Wilburn bombed out.

 

Center Lady Rider Rachel Andrews was fifth in the 220 lb. class with a total combined weight of 890 lbs. in Class 4A. Teammate Ryley Hudspeth bombed out.

 

The boys' state meet is this weekend in Abilene with several local lifters taking part.
