This past Wednesday the Jourdanton Girl's Powerlifting Team competed at Holy Cross High School. The event was loaded with big San Antonio Schools, but our lifters held their focus and all bettered their numbers on the season. Andria Gonzales, Kaylin Smith, Skyler Sexton and Amaya Loza are currently on the cusp of the top 12 in our Region.
It was Senior, Bella DeLeon, however, who owned the spotlight. Bella began the night by burying her opening squat of 475 to impress the judges and then stunned the crowd when she locked out her 500-pound third attempt with ease. The show continued with Bella's bench press as she made 330 pounds defy gravity. Her total on the night earned Bella 1st place in her respective weight class and Best Lifter. Bella's total of 1,165 pounds places her first among all female lifters in the State of Texas.
Great work Bella!!!
