The Powerlifting team at LHS began in 2008 and has grown in size drastically since that time. Powerlifting takes place during the winter sports season and student-athletes at LHS compete in four to five meets during the season. LHS student-athletes have been fortunate that the LHS Administration believes in the importance of students being involved in extracurricular activities and has supported the Powerlifting team as Powerlifting is a non-sanctioned sport in Nebraska.
Powerlifting meets are set up so athletes compete against other athletes by weight class. Three lifts are used in Nebraska for competition: Squat, Bench Press & Dead-lift. The largest amount of weight lifted in each lift is totaled and lifters place based on the largest total amount of weight lifted with the top 5 places awarded. Powerlifting also involves a team competition and placing is based on highest placing of lifters.
