The Lady Indians only had two girls compete for them, but with a one-two finish in the 165 pound weight class, it was good enough for Nocona to finish third overall in the team totals.
Alleeyah Silcox finished first with 750 pounds total lifted, a 25 pound increase from her previous meet as she increased her bench press and deadlift weight. Taylor Richards was second with 680 pounds lifted.
