POWERLIFTING

H.M. King High School Sophomore Javi Rojas placed fifth in the 165 lb. division of a powerlifting meet held at Tuloso-Midway this past weekend. Rojas squatted 400 pounds, bench pressed 250, and dead-lifted 470 for a sum of 1,120. Head Coach Sam Callis said Rojas could advance to the regional meet - later this year - if he improves in the squat and bench press. Rojas’ deadlift total at the T.M. meet surpassed that of two-time state finalist Mark Cortez.
