Congratulations to Italy High School Powerlifter Kaytlyn Bales who, for the second year in a row, has qualified to compete at the girl’s state powerlifting meet in Corpus Christi during spring break.

Only a sophomore, Bales squatted 250 pounds, bench-pressed 150 pounds, and dead lifted a personal best of 290 pounds at regionals.

Bales will lift on Friday, March 19 in Corpus Christi.

We are proud of all the members of the 2010 Italy High School Powerlifting Team and, “Good luck at state, Kaytlyn!”

Bales! Bales! Bales!
