Two Keys teams traveled to Gulliver Prep for a quad meet in girls weightlifting Dec. 4, and Coral Shores outlifted the competition in both traditional and Olympic lifting. For the Hurricanes, Sydney Eysenbach, Karla Gutierrez and Grace Patterson were double winners, claiming the top spots in their respective weight classes in both events. Teammate Juliana Rodriguez was first in the Olympic category.
For Marathon, Ayme Maradiaga, Ella Evans, Justice Lee and Samantha Schofield were double winners. Ava Merryman won the traditional event in her weight class. Lee, a state gold medalist in both events last season, was the top lifter last Wednesday. The junior powerlifter posted the highest score in the Sinclair coefficient, which takes different variables into account to see which athlete was the top lifter regardless of body weight. She also claimed the best lift in each event. Lee posted top lifts of 175 pounds in clean and jerk, 145 in snatch and 170 on bench.
