Henryetta powerlifters continued their successful season this week, hauling home a collection of medals and team honors across both junior high and high school divisions, further cementing the program’s reputation for strength and consistency.

The junior high squad delivered one of the most impressive performances of the meet, finishing as team runner- up while producing several individual champions and podium finishers.

Among the highlights was Taylor Mims, who captured the championship in the 181-pound division, and Elias Pollard, who earned runner-up honors in the same weight class. Kendrick Hill claimed a title of his own, finishing as champion in the 168-pound division, while Rex Clason added another first-place finish in the heavyweight division.

Nora Sweeney also stood atop the podium, earning the championship in the 143-pound division and continuing to demonstrate the growing strength of Henryetta’s girls powerlifting program.

Additional junior high medalists included Mason Howell, who finished runner-up in the heavyweight division; Noah Green, runner-up in the 220-pound division; and Jakobe Craig, who placed third in the heavyweight class. Josh Mordecai rounded out the medalists with a third-place finish in the 198-pound division.

At the high school level, Henryetta athletes continued to add to the team’s hardware collection. Hailey Lewis delivered a dominant performance to win the championship in the 220-pound division, highlighting the strength of the Lady Knights’ program.

Rachael Burden secured a thirdplace finish in the 198-pound division, while Baylor Thompson earned runner-up honors in the heavyweight division. Zane Kaler added another top-five result, finishing fifth in the 275-pound division.

The consistent results across both junior high and high school divisions speak to the depth of the Henryetta program and the dedication of its athletes. Powerlifting requires discipline in training, nutrition and recovery, and Henryetta competitors have embraced those demands throughout the season.

Coaches noted that the steady stream of medals and titles reflects not only individual effort but also the supportive environment within the program, where experienced lifters mentor younger teammates and help build confidence heading into competition.

With junior high athletes already achieving team and individual success and high school lifters continuing to perform at a high level, Henryetta powerlifting appears well-positioned for continued success in the weeks ahead.

For the Knights and Lady Knights, the message remains clear: the work in the weight room is paying off, and the results are showing on the platform.
