The girls traveled to Perrin-Whitt on Feb. 9 to compete against 10 other schools, including some from division one and two. Despite the competition, the Lady Rabbits dominated as they won the overall meet by more than 20 points as 11 lifters contributed point totals, including six gold medals.

Emma Skinner and Davis each won lifter of the meet, Skinner among the light weight classes and Davis among the heavy weight classes. Both of them set PRs with their total weight as Skinner’s 640 was a 70 pound jump. Davis broke the 1,000 pound total for the first time, a feat Coach Quentin Berend said he has never seen a girl he has coached do before.
Davis and Henry both have the highest weight total in their weight classes in the region. Davis has the distinction of having the highest weight total in both the 181 and 198 weight classes.
