The Cotulla Cowboys took a team of 11 regional qualifiers to the Region V 3A THSPA Regional Powerlifting Meet in Kingsville, Texas on Thursday, March 13th.
The weight was heavy and the competition was fierce, but the Cowboys stepped onto the platform ready to battle. Their hard work paid off in a big way.
We are proud to announce that four Cowboys finished in the Top 5 of their weight classes, and five Cowboys have earned their place at the State Powerlifting Meet.
These athletes have spent months in the weight room pushing limits, chasing bigger numbers, and refusing to back down from the bar.
