Numbers in strength equals success, literally. The Juarez Lincoln High School Varsity Ladies Powerlifting team qualified for and will compete in the state regional competition held at the Bert Ogden Arena. Not only do the lady powerlifters share a passion and commitment to the sport, but they are also all JROTC Cadets in the Husky Battalion. In just their first year under Coach Gonzalo Melendez (who also serves as the JROTC Army Instructor) the Lady Powerlifters had a stellar season while qualifying five for regional competition. The “fearsome five” have an opportunity to move on to state depending on their overall performance at regionals, but regardless they have set the bar high for next year.
