Eagles sending one to regional powerlifting
PECOS, March 1, 2001 - Pecos Eagles' senior Gito Crawford will be the Eagles'
lone competition this weekend at the Region I Powerlifting competition,
scheduled for Saturday at Lubbock Monterey High School.
"Gito's the only one who ended up qualifying for regionals. He's still
No. 2 in his weight class," said coach Steve Cross. "Adam (Salgado) almost
made it, but he got bounced out and finished No. 14."
Salgado competed in the 181-pound weight class this past weekend at
Seagraves and placed fifth, lifting a total of 1,045 pounds.
Crawford will compete at Lubbock in the 275-pound weight class, and
Cross said the top two finishers will qualify for the state meet, along
with any other lifters who have a total of 1,500 pounds or more on their
lifts.
Cross said Crawford "had trouble with his bench press" this past Saturday
at Seagraves, while most of the other Pecos lifters also ran into problems.
"It wasn't our best meet. We didn't have as good a day as we hoped for,"
he said. "I took some of my younger lifters to fill in some spots, and
Daniel Muniz and Max Miranda did really well, and Hector Rodriguez, who's
a sophomore did a good job. He moved up to about No. 25 in the standings."
"The girls had a lot of difficulty in the bench press," Cross said.
Only Mindy Harrison was able to place at Seagraves, and lifted a total
of 435 pounds in the 115-pound weight class.
Overall for the season, Cross said Victoria Gomez placed 13th
and D'Andra Ortega was 15th in the 165-and-under division, the
only Pecos girls to place in the Top 20 this season, which was the first
powerlifting competition for the Eagles in the girls' division.
"I expect us overall to do a whole lot better next year. We'll have
a lot of seniors and a lot of sophomores coming back," Cross said.
