Power lifters from all over the area converged on S&S high school for a meet on Thursday.

The meet consisted of 25 schools, and 150 girls, all hoping to punch their tickets to the regional meet, and to get a chance to go to the state meet in Corpus Christi. The girls competed across 11 weight classes in three different events, the dead lift, bench press and squat.

Each girl got three chances at each event, and the top five in each would get points for their team, the team with the most points, wins the meet. S&S will host the boys meet on Saturday.
