This season, 26 Cowgirls committed themselves to the sport of powerlifting. While not every athlete will advance to regionals, each one showed tremendous growth, discipline, and resilience throughout the season. Every late evening or early morning practice, every tough set, and every personal breakthrough mattered. We are proud of all 26 athletes and excited to see what the future holds for them in this sport! 👏

Good luck to all of our Cowgirls who are waiting on final results for regional qualification. No matter the outcome, your hard work has already made this season a success.

Let’s go, Cowgirls!
