Next, they will be traveling to Corpus Christi for the March 18th State Competition, held at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi.
Alyssa Ramirez, one of our Lionettes powerlifters, won the Regional Champion Title last week. Alyssa went on and broke the regional squat record twice, squatting 550lbs. And also broke the regional record on deadlift pulling 460lbs. Breaking the deadlift record three consecutive times! Finishing with a new regional record at 1,275 pounds. Alyssa Ramirez was awarded, the Outstanding Lifter Award, the Best Squat Award, and the Best Deadlift Award.
Congratulations Alyssa, and all the girls for their hard work and dedication, showing great Lions Pride. And good luck to you all during spring break at the big State Competition!
