Following runner-up finishes at Little Axe, Dibble and Bethel meets, El Reno High School’s boys powerlifting team placed six lifters in the top five at the recent Chickasha Invitational.

Edmond North (165) and Ardmore (141) had the top two spots, while El Reno edged Woodward (104) and 19 other schools.

El Reno High School will have three lifters in the Oklahoma Girls Powerlifting Coaches Association’s State Championships, which start Monday in Durant.
