The Roughneck powerlifting team competed for a last chance at a spot for the regional powerlifting meet on Thursday, February 27th. It was an extraordinary night for the boys, and there were quite a few PR’s set (personal records). Each and every one of the boys competed very well. The energy in the gym was very nerve racking, and the boys were all anxious to get their lifts.
Many of the boys really gave themselves a great opportunity at a chance for regionals. Although we won’t know for sure who is all going to be competing at the regional meet until verification, Coach Newton has a pretty good idea of all of the Roughneck lifters who advanced. It was definitely a great night of competition; the Roughnecks won the Team Championship with a total of 59 points. Coach Newton said, “I want to thank all those who volunteered to work tables and our kids that spotted/loaded weight. The guys competed well and it was a great night.”
