March 19, 2018 - The Shelbyville Lady Dragons had an outstanding showing at the Girls State Powerlifting Meet in Waco, TX on March 17, 2018 led by four-time State Champion Katie Casey.
Casey became a four-time State Champion after posting a new record for Squat of 500 pounds and the deadlift at 425 pounds. Her total of 1,105 pounds also set at new state record.
Madison Taylor won a 3rd place medal in the 165 pound weight class. She lifted a personal best in the bench and dead lift and finished with an 820 total.
Brittany Payne finished in 6th place narrowly missing out on a 5th place medal. Diana Valencia had an 8th place finish. Both Brittany and Diana competed in the 97 pound weight class and both lifted personal best in all 3 of their lifts. Freshmen, Jada Moore finished 9th.
Katie and Madison are seniors and their leadership will be missed.
The future is bright for the Lady Dragons Powerlifting with 3 state lifters returning to compete next year. Coach Taylor is so proud of the girls’ commitment and hard work this year. Dragon Pride!
