ABILENE — Glen Rose senior Zander Key medaled with a fifth-place finish in the 198-pound division at the Texas High School Powerlifting Association Class 4A Div. II State meet on Friday at the Abilene-Taylor County Expo Center.
Two other Tiger lifters also placed in the top nine of their respective weight classes.
“We had several PRs and school records broken, but the most rewarding part as a coach was seeing all of them compete with the best lifters in the state and putting together one great last meet,” Glen Rose powerlifting coach Terry Harlin said.
Key squatted 635 to break his school record, while benching 330 and deadlifting 545 for a total weight of 1,510.
At 308, Peyton Klein placed sixth overall and squatted 730 to break his school record, and he also benched 440 to break his own school record, and dead-lifted 550 for a personal record 1,720 total weight.
At 220, Ryder Cook placed ninth with lifts of 590 (squat); 415 (bench); and 475 (deadlift) for a total of 1,480.
At 181, Parker Stephenson placed 13th overall with a squat of 585 to break his own school record; a bench of 315 and a dead lift of 495 for a personal record of 1, 390 in total weight.
“I’m really proud of all of our kids and how they competed on the grandest of stages in Texas high school powerlifting,” Harlin said. “I don’t think any of them quite had the day they had hoped for, but that’s what makes them the competitors they are and the reason they had the individual seasons and season as a team that they had.”

To all the patrons of Goetz Physical Culture Center. If you come to the gym, local law enforcement may issue you a citation! They asked to gain entry into the facility for purposes of identifying attendees and were refused. Subsequently, law enforcement stayed in the parking lot for an extended period of time and issued citations when patrons exited the building or they perceived had exited the building. After 3 hours, a citation was placed on the windshield of a remaining vehicle and law enforcement departed as though the situation was resolved. Wrong! Law enforcement continued surveillance of the property and stopped the vehicle when it departed only to find that it was an employee of the gym.
Law enforcement did not issue citations to Radonna or me! Why? If you want to unjustly influence and/or leverage a business owner(s) to comply with a government order, write citations to the clients of whom the owners care about! I am the person having primary care, custody and control of the property. Law enforcement knew I was willing to accept legal consequences so they knowingly and strategically chose to target only the patrons! Law enforcement attempted to claim no action could be taken against me as an owner and law enforcement was made aware of Texas Penal Code, Chapter 7, Section 7.02(2) [Criminal Responsibility for Conduct of Another]. Law enforcement calculatingly elected to only cite patrons!
Regardless of if you believe the police enforcement was valid or invalid legally, the actions of citing secondary persons and purposely not taking punitive measures against those most responsible (owner) is unequivocally wrong! Goetz Physical Culture Center shall remain open. You must decide if it is worth the potential of receiving a citation.
This message is intended for two reasons. Know that if you come to the gym, you risk getting a citation! Regardless of your position of if law enforcement intervention was appropriate, the deliberate action of attempting to manipulate my choice of having the gym open by taking punitive measures solely against patrons is wrong!
I will not name the officials personally as they are merely performing their job as directed by higher authorities! This was a cause of action performed by the City of Glen Rose. Sheriff Department personnel were present only as a result of a request for assistance. This was exclusively a City of Glen Rose enforcement / punitive operation!

Four Glen Rose Tigers qualify, another named as alternate for Regional powerlifting meet (Glen Rose Reporter – By Travis M. Smith, Managing Editor) Posted Mar. 1, 2016
“For the three-time Most Outstanding Lifter, Cesar Herrera dominated in the Dublin, Comanche and Stephenville meets where he bested four of his previous school records and set a new meet record with a 280-pound deadlift in Comanche.
Herrera has been extremely consistent on the bench press all season with an average lift of 258.75 pounds during the four meets. His high of 265, which he has reached twice this season, is a new school record for the 148-pound class he competes in.
His high total came in Stephenville – the final tune-up before regionals – when he accumulated a mark of 1,210 pounds for yet another school record for his class.”

“Special shout out to Michael Mora! Michael just competed in his first Bodybuilding show this past weekend and did an awesome job. His posing was spot on and earned recognition from other competitors, which is a testimony to his relentless effort. Michael endured seventeen weeks of contest prep./diet that resulted in a weight loss of 28.40 pounds and reduced his body fat percentage to 4.8! Having witnessed Michael’s character over the last seventeen weeks, I am excited to watch his further development! When his photographs are received, I’ll try to convince him to allow us to post some images. Outstanding performance!”
