Multiple local athletes made the trip to the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson this past weekend to compete in the MHSAA Powerlifting State Championships, and several brought home medals and put up division-best lifts in multiple areas.

Falkner’s Anthony Morgan finished with a silver medal in his weight class, putting up numbers during his respective meet including a record 650-pound deadlift, a 525-pound squat, and a 225-pound bench press.
