DIRECTIONS TO THE STATE POWERLIFTING MEET
Trigg County made history Saturday in winning the IronCat Classic, becoming the first school to ever sweep first through fifth place in a single event in the 14-year history of the event.
Helped by their sweep, the Wildcats beat second place Hopkins Central by over 1,000 pounds. The IronCat takes each lifter’s total in the deadlift, the bench press, and the squat, then adds the three totals. The 11 highest totals count towards the team score.
Trigg County's total of 5,815 pounds in the deadlift was the second-highest in the event's history, behind only Madisonville's total of 6,035 in 2005.
"I thought it was a great day for us," said Wildcat powerlifting coach Erin Eagleson. "We had several people who haven't even tapped what they can do, and I think some of them realize that after today."
Trigg County is scheduled to compete in Hopkinsville's Best of the West Tournament in two weeks.
