Deweyville is proud to present two state qualifiers for our 2018 Powerlifting team.

Freshman Shelby Crumpler received 2^nd place in all of her meets, lifting an impressive 255 squat, 155 bench, and 260 in dead lift giving her a 640 lb total. Shelby worked hard during practices 3 days week, as well as put in extra time during open gym opportunities.  She credits her teammates, Lacy Roderick and Kelsey Hyatt, for pushing her to succeed.

Remarkably, this is Junior Kelsey Hyatt’s first year to powerlift, starting her career off with a bang she is Deweyville’s second state qualifier. She admits she started off benching 55 lbs. Kelsey says she started working everyday training and pushing herself reaching 70 lbs during qualifiers. Her first meet she received 3^rd place, but climbed the ranks to first for every meet after. She has found that she loves powerlifting, partly because of the new friends she has met and grown close to.

Both girls attribute their successes to the team support they both give and receive, proving the old adage to be true; teamwork truly does make the dream work!
