many members of the team
qualify to go to the state
powerlifting meet. This includes
Jerkerion Simmons 12 who brought

state title. Jerkerion placed first in
his weight class. We had multiple
people lifting more than they ever
had before. For example, Ryan
Logan 12 lifted over 1,500 pounds
in his three events. This year was
a season of growth and
improvement for the whole team.
