Senior Noah Smoot and junior Ezekiah Aguilar earned medals during the boys first powerlifting meet of the season held in Natalia on Jan. 14.
Noah Smoot earned second place in the 181 weight class with a total of 1,265 pounds. Ezekiah Aguilar earned third place in the 165 weight class with a total of 805 pounds.
The group is made up of primarily new powerlifters and a few had a rough start with commands/rules, controlling the bar, and nerves, but with guidance and support from their team, they were able to overcome those challenges by their second or third lifts.
