Girls R2 D3 Powerlifting Meet, Dublin, TX Unfortunately, our two senior girl lifters, Kyra Watson and Jazmine Jackson, did not have the day we were all hoping for them to have. I cannot thank them enough for their dedication and effort to help me start this program from nothing. What they helped to create will go on past them for many years to come. However, there was a very bright spot on the day. Freshman, Bree Surovik qualified for the state meet in Corpus Christi as the top 2A girl in her 181 lb weight class. I’m so proud of the work she’s put in and the years to come of her certain dominance in the sport. -Coach Ethan Watson
