Two local lifters claimed high places at state last week. Lingleville students, staff and community member lined the entry way to the school to see off junior Leslie Juarez (seen above with parents, Natalia and Moises) as she headed off to the state Powerlifting Meet in Corpus Christi on Wednesday. Juarez claimed fifth place in the state event Thursday against lifters from 2A schools with a total lift of 800 pounds. On Friday, Dublin lifter Celeste Alvarez claimed 7th in her class with a total lift of 925, setting a personal record.
