THSWPA Girls Reg 1 Div 3 Championship’s
@ Mertzon(3-6-15)
Brianna Barron competed in
the Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association Region I Division 3
Championships Friday at Merton, Texas. Barron was ranked ninth in the Region
when the competition began.
“Brianna (Barron) has worked
extremely hard this season,” said Muleshoe High School Powerlifting coach, Kirk
Byrd. “She has been getting up at 6:30 AM to workout around her busy schedule.”
“She made the decision to go
for an automatic qualification to the Texas State Meet rather than play it safe
and know for sure she would get a medal. She attempted to deadlift 225 pounds
and got it off the floor but could not complete the lift.”
“But on the positive side
Brianna still won the fifth place medal and was just 15 pounds short of the
automatic qualifying total of 495 pounds. She is a hard working young lady and
deserves all of her success.”
“It was very nice to have
several members of Brianna’s family in attendance to show their support for
her. I also want to thank Noa Rojas for her assistance at the meet to both
Brianna and me.”
Barron raised her personal
best in both the squat lift and bench press. She had a squat lift of 190 pounds
and bench pressed 80 pounds. Barron had a deadlift of 210 pounds on her second
attempt. She went for the automatic bid on her final attempt but could not
complete her attempt with 225 pounds.
Mule power lifters, Evan Paez
and David Rodriguez, will compete in the Region I Meet March 14 in Sundown,
Texas. Paez is currently tied for fourth in the 114 pound class and Rodriguez
is seventh in the 275 pound class.
