One day after watching their male counterparts capture the state title, the Cedar Creek ladies followed suit on Thursday.
Head coach Jacob Angevine’s Lady Cougars won their third straight Division V state title, easily outdistancing themselves from the rest of the competition in Lafayette.
Creek totaled 66 points, defeating Sacred Heart (37) by 29 points. Holden (33), Slaughter Charter (16) and Ascension Catholic (14) rounded out the top five.
“I’m still blown away at how our girls did today,” said Angevine. “Every single last one of them had determination in their eyes as they walked in the building this morning. They knew if they hit their lifts they would walk out as champs.
“I’m going to miss this group of senior girls so much. They have built one of the best programs in the state of Louisiana. People from all over know about the Cedar Creek girls because of them.”
The Lady Cougars won six of the 11 weight classes while finishing on the podium in all but three of the classifications. The Lady Cougars had four second place finishes and one third place finish.
Alli Claire Johnson (530 pounds, 97-weight class), Emma Moore (835 pounds, 123-weight class), Ainsley Riley (895 pounds, 148-weight class), Lauren Enterkin (975 pounds, 165-weight class), Ashlyn Bourn (915 pounds, 181-weight class), and Kate Harris (805 pounds, 198-weight class) all captured the individual state title in their weight classifications.
Moore was named the Most Outstanding Lifter on the light platform while Enterkin was named the Most Outstanding Lifter on the heavy platform.
Elli Dickerson (785 pounds, 148-weight class), Olivia Salter (810 pounds, 165-weight class), Gia Fernandez (805 pounds, 198-weight class), and Avery Bourn (915 pounds, 220-weight class) all finished second in their respective classifications.
Rosemary Sewell (695 pounds, 132-weight class) finished third.
