In an extremely competitive 181-pound division, Zuri Herrera placed 12th and lifted 1,125 total pounds with 440 on the squat, 260 on the bench press, and 425 on the deadlift. Also placed in 12th in the 132-pound division was Winton Lackey as he lifted 830 total pounds with 345 on the squat, 185 on the bench press, and 300 on the deadlift.
Rounding out the field for the Dillos at the state meet was Justin Hernandez finishing 13th as he lifted 730 total pounds in the 123-pound division with 270 on the squat, 140 on the bench press, and 320 on the deadlift.
