In the high school division, Roland had two placers — Mira Reagan was fifth in the 136-pound weight class, while Jaydan Fancher tied for fifth in the heavyweight class in the boys’ division.

Gore’s Drake Cowart was runner-up, and teammate Marcus Scott was third.

In the junior high portion of the meet, Sallisaw’s Tyler Neer (525 pounds lifted) and Alex Escobar (570) were meet champions.

Gore saw four JH powerlifters win titles as Cole Ralston, Jaydan Gates, Treydan Daugherty and Beau Moore all took home titles in their respective weight divisions.

Four other Gore JH powerlifters, Trenton Cunningham, Weston Cunningham, Alex Hoog and Jace Gates, all came in third.
