Tyrell King competes at state powerlifting meet
Tyrell King finished off a great career competing at the Texas High School Powerlifting Association State Meet in Abilene Mar. 27.
Tyrell squatted 650, benched 410 and dead lifted a personal-best 605 pounds which tied him for fifth place out of 16 lifters in the 308-pound weight class.
Five hundred of the strongest lifters in Texas from all classifications descended on the Taylor County Expo Hall to lift last Saturday.
“I’m very proud of the way Tyrell battled back after a tough start to finish out by going 3-for-3 in the dead lift and setting a PR on his last pull,” Head Coach Craig Fant said. “There were some strong lifters in his class and some big weight being pushed around. Tyrell has been a huge part of Atlanta Iron the last four years and we will really miss him!”
