Junior Presley Johnson landed a state runner up🥈 finish in her weight class (improving from 4th last year), while junior LaKayla Dewberry finished 5th in hers.
Junior Lillie Haskins achieved new personal records in all three of her lifts to power her to a top ten finish (9th) in her weight class.
Junior Isabella Reagh wound up 13th in her weight class.
And Sophomore Aquira Hines was in third place in her weight class going into the final exercise (dead lift). Luck wasn't on her side after that, but not for lack of trying.
As a team we finished 16th out of 63 schools that participated in the #THSWPA state meet.
Let's give our Lady Iron Tigers a hand as they represented Arp, America in outstanding fashion.
Let's also be sure to congratulate Coaches Robby Grandgeorge, and Evan Beaton, as well as our manager junior Henrike Hachmann.
