Powerlifting

Spring 2012

Powerlifting allows students of all sizes to compete in competitive weight lifting.  Athletes only compete against other athletes that are of comparable size.  Each lifter competes in squat, bench, and deadlift.  Each lift is then added together and the competitor with the highest total wins their weight class.  Oxford's girls and boys teams enter the 2012 season as defending Regional Champs.

Last year was a banner year for Oxford Powerlifting.  The team won its first Regional titles in both girls and boys Powerlifting.  Every member of the girls and boys team that competed at the regional meet qualified for the North Half.  Congratulations to Terry Johnson for winning an individual state championship for his weight class.  Expectations are high for the 2012 team!
