Power lifter Aubrey Jaramillo made her second appearance in a row at the Regional Powerlifting Meet last weekend.
Jaramillo came home with the fifth-place medal for a personal best lift total of 460 pounds.
She had personal bests in the squat at 175 pounds and the deadlift at 195 pounds. Jaramillo bench pressed 90 pounds.
“I was proud of the way she competed,” coach Johnny Nino said. “She came in seeded 8th and improved three spots to fifth. She has overcome a knee injury from about three weeks ago. It locked up on her on the third lift of the squat, but after putting some ice on it she came back to finish the meet. I was very proud of her.”
Jaramillo has been a staple on the powerlifting team for the past two years and will be looking forward to lift again next season.
“I want to thank Aubrey for all the hard work she put in this year, as well as the other powerlifters that competed this year,” Nino said. “I want to thank Joe Jaramillo for all of his help during the meets this year.”
