El Reno lifters win regional title, set sights on state
The 2026 Oklahoma Powerlifting Coaches Association’s State Championships return to Jenks Simmons Field House this week, with El Reno High School looking to battle for a team title.
The Indians have placed fifth or better six times since 2018 including back-to-back state titles in the Class 5A Large School Division (2021-22). Last year El Reno was runner-up to Durant by seven points.
This year El Reno will have five lifters in the high school state field after the team took the Northwest Regional Championship with 112 points, 31 more than Guthrie.
