NPHS had 6 athletes compete in the Creighton Prep RAW State Powerlifting Championship meet on Saturday, February 12th. The meet consisted of 240 lifters from various schools across the state. Athletes competed by weight class and completed 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.
Individual results:
Emily Winkler placed third in the women’s 148 LB class
235 lb Squat
150 lb Bench
275 lb Deadlift
660 lb total
Other NP lifters that competed:
Name: Wt class Total LBs lifted
Kalee Brosius 148 525 lbs
Jackson Thomas 148 555 lbs
Sam Erbert 165 740 lbs
Seth Penn 198 700 lbs
Brock Matuszczak 198 835 lbs
I was really pleased with our efforts. All of our lifters competed well and set personal best attempts on their lifts. There are definitely a lot of strong athletes out there from various schools. We need to continue to train hard and always prioritize our efforts in our weight room at NPHS.
