Impressive lifts included 95lb Ricci Shoemaker's 215lb deadlift, 132lb Brittany Myers 165lb bench press, and Valerie Browns 350lb squat. The Bridge City boys, fresh off of a victory at the Nederland Meet, competed hard. They did not bring their full team, but still managed 3rd behind Ozen and Port Neches-Groves. 132lb Tim Sharp won Outstanding Lifter in the lightweight division, for a 2nd meet in a row, with an 1150 total. 198lb Kris Wedekind had a 3 lift total of 1430lbs, 1st Place finishes belonged to 114lb Devon Ocegura and 132lb Tim Sharp. 2nd place finishes went to 132lb Micah Ellender, 181lb Garrett McNeil, and 198lb Kris Wedekind.
