Dewar powerlifting receives State rings

July 10, 2024

In March, the Dewar Dragons had eight members of the powerlifting team qualify for the State Powerlifting Meet in El Reno. All eight placed in the top 10 of each of their weight divisions for a grand total of 9,870 lbs. with 84 points. That score made the Dragons the Small School State Powerlifting Champions for 2024.

The team came together, and everyone contributed to the win. Hard work pays off!
