AHMO Iron made history at the Powerlifting State Championships by securing the first state title for Wylie Powerlifting and becoming the first team to win gold in THSWPA's new unequipped division. Individual achievements included Mackayla Davis placing 2nd, Kristina Restrepo and Esther Emokpae placing 3rd, and Averee Bontrager and Tamia Bankhead placing 4th.

By the Numbers
  • Nine powerlifting athletes competed in THSWPA's unequipped division
  • Senior Emily Phillips placed first individually in the equipped team category
Yes, But

Some may argue that unequipped powerlifting limits the amount of weight lifted compared to equipped powerlifting due to the absence of certain equipment.

State of Play
  • AHMO Iron's equipped team placed fourth overall
  • The team had been preparing for the state competition throughout the year
  • Before the state competition, they secured their fifteenth regional championship title
What's Next

Following their success at the state championships, AHMO Iron will likely continue training and striving for further achievements in powerlifting competitions.

Bottom Line

AHMO Iron's dedication and teamwork resulted in a groundbreaking season with notable individual and team achievements, setting a new standard for Wylie Powerlifting.
