A pair of Hays CISD powerlifting athletes came away with hardware and a place on the podium based on their finishes at the Texas High School Powerlifting Association state meet. Hays High senior Ryan Leal (middle, featured photo) claimed fourth place in the 220-pound weight class at the state meet held at the Taylor County Expo Center in Abilene. Leal caps off a season where he also took first place at the Regional meet in Burleson on March 10. Also earning a spot on the podium at state was Lehman High’s Cameron Saucedo (right), who finished 5th in the 123-pound weight class. Saucedo set a new personal record (PR) on all 3 of his lifts and broke all of the 4 school records for that class.
