Some of the Keys’ strongest women went toe-to-toe on Nov. 30 as all three high school girls weightlifting teams met in Tavernier. In the traditional division, which combines each individual’s top lifts in the bench press and clean and jerk, Marathon came in first, with Key West claiming second and Coral Shores third. Marathon was also first in the Olympic division, which pairs the clean and jerk with the snatch lift, with Coral Shores coming in second and Key West taking third place. The Lady Fins also had the top three overall lifters of the meet, calculated with a formula that takes into account an athlete’s body weight along with her best attempts at each lift. Allie Brabenec, Mikkel Ross and Justice Lee took first through third place, respectively. All three teams are working toward big gains at districts this season, scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 28, 2023.
