Sundown Powerlifting Team Earns 4th as a Team... Breaking 2 Individual State Records in the Process!
The Sundown Powerlifting Team traveled to Abilene today to compete at the THSPA State Powerlifting Meet! The Roughnecks earned the State Championship titles in 2021 & 2022, and came in with a 3 peat of Regional Championships dating back to 2020. Today, they came out and competed with heart, grit and determination. Sundown's Rickey Melendez managed to set a state record in the 165 lb class with a 580 lb squat, and SHW Konar Alaman set the record in bench press with an impressive 465 lb press! Our top finishers for the meet were Rickey Melendez (580 squat - 335 bench - 440 Deadlift - 1385 total) and Konar Alaman (705 squat - 465 bench - 550 Deadlift - 1720 total) earning 2nd place in their respective weight class. We also had Dekota Golightly with a 4th place finish in the 242 lb class (620 squat - 380 bench - 540 Deadlift - 1540 total), followed by a 6th place finish by Michael Salazar in the 123 lb class tying for 5th place and losing the tie breaker based on weight (355 squat - 205 bench - 430 Deadlift - 990 total) and an 8th place finish by Jeffery Rodriguez in the 308 lb class (590 squat - 355 bench - 535 Deadlift - 1480 total). We are so proud of our athletes and coaches for a great season! We are definitely proud of our Sundown Roughnecks for a great day and a great season! We are so grateful to Coach Barry Newton, Coach Kevin Torres, and Coach Sarah Goodman for working our kids throughout the season, and having them prepped and ready for each and every powerlifting meet! We will miss our Seniors and wish them the best!
