	Calallen Girls Power Lifters Win Second Place at
 State.


The Calallen girl’s team placed second at the Texas High
  School Women's Power lifting Association State 
 power lifting meet this past Friday. The meet was held at the 
 Killeen Civic Center in Killeen, Texas. Calallen lifters
  totaled 23 team points. Los Fresnos High School 
 won the meet with 24 points and Waller High School was
  third with 20 points

Some outstanding performances were turned in by Calallen 
 lifters. First year lifter Lana Garcia won first place
  in the class 4A 97-pound class. Her total of 620 pounds was 
 also the best total for any of the 97-pound state 
 champions in the five UIL classifications. For her 
 efforts,
  she won the award as the composite State 
 Champion for her weight class. Jordan Scott, the current 
 state squat record holder in 123-pound class, shattered the
   132-pound state squat record with a lift of 380 
 pounds. The old record was 345 pounds. Jamy Harvey, 
 competing in the 181-pound class, also shattered the old 
 record with a lift of 450 pounds. The existing record had 
 been 400 pounds. Jamy also holds the 165-pound state 
 record with a squat of 390 pounds at the 2003 state meet. 
 
Overall, Calallen lifters broke or equaled 13 current school 
 records at this year's state meet. The second place team 
 finish follows their third place finish in 2003. With 
 five of this year's six state qualifiers returning, the Lady Wildcats are already setting their sights on capturing 
 that elusive state championship in 2005. Jamy Harvey is
  the lone senior on this year's team and will be greatly missed. For her athletic and academic achievement,
  Jamy was named as one of two lifters from 
 this region to win a THSWPA $500.00 scholarship to the college of her choice. 
 
Jordan won the award for having performed the most
  outstanding squat for any of the five UIL classifications in
  the 97-148 weight classes. Jamy won the same award 
 for the 165-SHW weight classes. In other words, these 
 two girls are the strongest high school girl lifters in 
 the squat for the entire state of Texas based on the 
 amount of weight lifted multiplied by their body weight 
 coefficient. Jordan also won the same award at last
  year's state meet. Not too bad considering there were almost
  500 girls who competed at this year's state meet.

		Calallen Boys Power Lifters Tie for 6th Place at State.
 
	The Calallen boys team finished in a tie for sixth
  place at the Texas High School Power lifting 
 Association State power-lifting meet this past Saturday. The
  meet was held in Holfheinz Pavilion on the 
 University of Houston campus. Calallen lifters totaled nine 
 team points. La Marque High School won the meet with 16
  points to edge out Aldine Nimitz who had 15 points.
  
Calallen lifters left the competition with three state medals 
 from the five qualified lifters. Michael Martinez placed 
 second in the 242-pound class with a 1630-lbs total, 
 only five pounds out of first place. His total included 
 a new state record squat of 725 pounds. The lift broke 
 the ten-year-old state record lift of 710 pounds by 
 Barron Henderson of Terrell High School in 1994. Daniel 
 Brubaker had an outstanding day in route to a third place 
 finish in the 123-pound class. His total of 1045 pounds 
 was only five pounds behind the second place finisher 
 from Mineral Wells and included a personal and 
 school
  best squat of 430 pounds. Wes Huff won fifth 
 place in the 220-pound class with a personal best total of 
 1465 pounds. He joins a list of seven other Calallen 
 lifters who have squatted at least 600 pounds in 
 competition over the course of the four years that Calallen 
 has fielded a power lifting team.
 
Michael Martinez was also the recipient of a $1000.00 
 scholarship to the college of his choice. He was one of two
  winners selected by the officers and directors of 
 the THSPA from this region. He joins Jamy Harvey and
  Erin Fortney as previous winners of academic 
 scholarships awarded by the state associations. The winners 
 are selected based on their academic achievement, a 
 personal letter from the athlete, a letter from his or her 
 coach, and a letter from a teacher or administrator. The 
 state record squat by Michael now gives Calallen High 
 School lifters claim to five state squat records out of
  the possible 22 available. Both Jamy Harvey and 
 Jordan Scott each own two weight class state record squats 
 and Kellen Becker currently holds the state record for 
 the 275 pound class dead lift for a sixth state record 
 by Calallen lifters.
 
“It was a great season for the Calallen power lifting 
 teams. We were disappointed in not winning the state titles
  in both the boys and girls divisions because that
  was our goal going into the meets. We went after 
 the regional meets with so much determination and with 
 such a great effort, that I think we may have peaked a 
 couple of weeks early this year,”  Coach Asa Chambless
  said. “However, for a young program with 
 three boys and six girls returning who qualified for 
 state this year, we will be back next year to give it 
 another shot.
 
The results of the Calallen Power Weight Lifters are as 
 follow:
