As powerlifting teams have multiple competitions under their belts by now, the Steers hosted a meet in Graham and made their mark while doing so.

Bridgeport, Decatur and Peaster came to Graham’s fieldhouse Thursday, Feb. 8 to showcase the progress each lifter has made throughout the season.

The boys had three opportunities in squats, bench press and deadlift. The top weight in each category was added together and athletes were ranked based on their total weight in pounds lifted.

Shown are weight classes, placement among those in that class and lift results in pounds for the varsity Steers.
