Cedar Creek’s Emma Moore garnered notice by becoming the 2021 Louisiana High School Athletic Association’s Division V 114-pound Powerlifting State Champion earlier this spring.

But Moore had, well, more in store to cap off her freshman year as a Cougar.

On Thursday, Moore became the 2021 57 Kg Women’s Equipped High School Junior Varsity and Women’s Equipped Teen National Champion at the USA Powerlifting High School and Teen National Powerlifting Meet in Aurora, Colorado.

Moore finished the day with a 633-pound total and a new personal record on the bench press.
