Bowie powerlifting does well at meets
The Bowie powerlifting teams had a productive last week competing at different meets.
The girls competed at a league meet in Ponder on Jan. 17 while some of the less experienced boy’s members competed at Jacksboro on Jan. 19.
The girls team dominated the competition at the smaller meet as eight girls took home first place medals in their weight classes with 11 medals overall. Jessie Henry, Sierra Skinner, Emma Skinner, Maddie Baker, Kerstin Kindsfather, Jenna Rogers, Carrington Davis and Chelsea Price each won their weight classes.
Davis weighed in just over her usual weight class of 181 pounds and had to compete in the 198 pound class.
It did not matter as she still easily won by 200 pounds while setting a personal record in squat with 405 pounds and deadlift, lifting 320.
With two weeks until their next meet, personal records are expected to go down when they next compete.
The boys competed at Jacksboro on Saturday. It was a junior varsity meet and the Jackrabbits competing were mostly inexperienced or younger members who did not compete in the first meet the previous week.
Despite that, the team ended up in fifth place out of 11 schools competing with six boys bringing home medals.
The standout was Zack Otto winning the 220 pound weight class, lifting a personal best 1,215 pounds. He benched 295 pounds, squatted 475 pounds and deadlifted 445 pounds.
The total wound up being tied with another lifter, but Otto weighed in at a lower weight so the gold went to him.
Other medalists included Ethan Meyers getting silver in the 132 pound class, Abraham Aguirre and Silas Carillo earning fourth and fifth in the 165 pound weight class, Todd Holmes earning fifth in the 198 pound weight class and Bryan Arellano earning third in the 242 pound weight class.
The boys next meet is on Thursday at Alvord that will include both varsity and junior varsity lifters starting at 4:30 p.m. The girls are off this week and do not lift again until Jan. 31 at Paradise High School.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.
Sunset native Cason Richey (right) and his team roping partner Beldon Cox from Weatherford repeated as the International Finals Youth Rodeo champions last weekend at Shawnee, OK.

Richey is expected to compete attend Texas Tech University this fall and compete on the rodeo team.
The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
