Latta High School athletes participated in a strength and weightlifting competition on Saturday, March 21st. Participants included: Gavin Aubin, Kayden Rogers, Zack Page, Joe'Maurie Galloway, and Jackson Horne. They competed and qualified for state in the regional qualifiers at South Florence High School in February. Finishing in the top three of their weight class qualified them for the state strength meet at Lexington High School. While competing in their weight class, there are no divisions. All athletes 1A-5A must compete individually against each other. At the state meet, all competed well and finished high enough in their respective weight class to total enough points for us to be the 1A Strength State Champions.
Individually, Gavin Aubin placed 2nd in the 190 lb. weight division. This earned him a spot on the medal podium along with being tabbed as all-state.
Coach Brandon Iseman has trained alongside these athletes throughout the year to prepare them for this type of competition. Hard work truly pays off. Congratulations to these young men!
