Cedar Creek head coach Jacob Angevine took eight of his powerlifting competitors to North DeSoto High School Saturday to participate.
Three of the seven Cougars earned a spot on the podium.
“We took some of our younger and first year lifters got a chance to shine on the big stage this weekend,” said Angevine. “Of the eight that took to the platform, three finished on the podium, two entered the 1,000-pound club, and all finished with multiple PRs.”
On the boys side, Chandler Bullock finished second in the 275-pound weight class with a three-lift total of 1,035 pounds. While on the girls side, Bella DiGiovanni finished third in the 198-pound class with a total fo 685 and Olivia Ferrell finished third in the 220-pound class with 510.
Logan Amidon, competing in the 181-pound class, didn’t make the podium but did earn a spot in the 1,000-pound club with a three lift total of 1,025 pounds.
“Having two young kids break into the 1000-pound club is a big accomplishment for them,” said Angevine. “All of our lifters had some left in the tank and left fired up for the next meet. You know it’s a good day when everyone leaves with either smiles or hardware. This was a great day for the future of the program.”
Cedar Creek will next compete this weekend at D’Arbonne Woods Charter School on Saturday.
