The belts are strapped, and the weights are unracked in Pilot Point with the Bearcats and Lady Cats competing in their second Celina League Meet on Feb. 6.
The meet was originally set for Jan. 30 but was rescheduled to Feb. 6 because of the ice storm that affected the area, but the two teams battled through the changes, with all of the Pilot Point lifters finishing in the Top 5 of their respective weight classes at the event.
“They performed well, especially the boys on the boys’ side,” said Robby Perez, Pilot Point head powerlifting coach. “The boys just started a [unequipped] division this year, which the girls have already had, and every kid in our program is going to do that at least once, and we had some kids, who competed in the equipped division in the first meet, surprise themselves in this second one.”
