The Sundown Boys powerlifting team won the regional meet on Thursday night in dominating fashion. We scored 67 team points and had 14 out of our 16 competitors get individual medals. We qualified 11 young men to the state meet! Coach Newton has been in the THSPA association for almost 20 years and has never seen more than 7 from one school at the state meet. We are beyond proud of these young men. These guys will compete in Abilene on March 25 for a shot at another state title. We want to congratulate all of our competitors, and also give a huge thanks to our Coaches: Barry Newton, Kevin Torres and Sarah Goodman. For those that were in attendance, you were privy to witness the love that our athletes and coaches have for this sport, but more importantly, you also witnessed the love and support they showed one another! Our Coaches were vital in preparing and training our athletes to lift an absurd amount of weight… in many cases weight that the athlete had never done before… but more important, they gave our athletes the confidence to go out and compete with the best in the Region, and it paid off for us! 11 athletes advancing to the STATE MEET… WE ARE SUNDOWN STRONG!!! Thank you to the community in attendance for the love and support, thank you to our Seniors for your leadership and guiding our Team to another Regional Championship and thank you to all the athletes for the show you put on for us!
