One thing is evident, the teams playing for UIL 🏈 🏆 are NOT afraid of the weight room and moving some iron. The weight room is not punishment, it’s preparation.

Competing in 1 of the largest powerlifting federations in America, all of our lifters held a top 12 ranking & 2 of them brought home hardware amongst the TOP 5 STRONGEST GIRLS IN TEXAS!
STATE RUNNER-UP: Senior, Jakhia David!
5th Strongest Girl in Texas: Senior Elisabeth Fowler!

Although winning the first-ever regional championship has been an incredible feat, the season isn’t over yet!

Tomorrow, these ladies will compete to be their best and know that good things happen to people who work hard.

Goal: Go 9 for 9, the rest will come.

Be willing to do what success DEMANDS.
Everything will be EARNED.
We will win with a FEW, rather than lose with TOO many.

This is EXCITING. Watching someone squat 6 plates is awesome. Being strong is awesome.

But getting strong can be boring.

Do you want to be strong, or do you want to be entertained?

This is our squat progression.

WHO?
Where's ELKHART?

[9for9Powerlifting @9for9PL]

It's a STATEMENT.

At the conclusion of the 2023 Powerlifting Season Elkhart 9For9 Powerlifting officially won by the LARGEST margin of victory of ANY team in Texas across ALL DIVISIONS at any State Competition: 2A-6A, Boys & Girls!

FRISCO – A process that began three years ago with one goal in mind under Head Coach Ricky Rodriguez came to fruition Thursday at the Texas High School Women's Powerlifting State Championships as the Elkhart Lady Elks were crowned state champions. https://t.co/H8eA2V9weH

#ChampionsNow came down to the understanding that if we wanted to accomplish something historic, it must begin in the off-season. 💪🏽
