<p>Bulldog Powerlifting:</p><p>NPHS had seven athletes compete in the Lexington Powerlifting meet on Saturday, December 7th.  Athletes competed by weight class and complete the bench press, squat, and deadlift. Athletes are given three attempts to lift as much weight as they can in each lift. The best attempt at each lift is then added together to figure the athlete’s total pounds lifted. Athletes then earn individual medals and team points based off of their total pounds lifted.</p><p>Individual results:</p><div><table style="width:100%">
