King Ties for Fifth Place at State Powerlifting

Posted Date: 03/29/2021

Congratulations to AHS Tyrell King.  He finished off a great career competing at the Texas High School Powerlifting Association State Meet in Abilene this past weekend. Tyrell squated 650, benched 410, and dead lifted a personal best 605lbs to tie for 5th place out of 16 lifters in the 308lb weight class. 500 of the strongest lifters in Texas from all classifications descended on the Taylor County Expo Hall to lift Saturday. “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. 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!”
