Kris Woods set a goal of
lifting 1,215 pounds at Shel-
ton's second powerlifting

And he met it.
On Saturday, Woods not
only lifted his goal weight,
but he also qualified for the
High School National Fow-
erlifting meet by exceeding
the minimum total of 1,190
pounds for the 181-pound
weight division he competes
in.
With his total lift, Woods
won his weight division,
contributing to the Shelton
boys' team's overall second
place finish. The Highclimb-
ers scored 44 points to finish
behind Montesano with 54
points.
Woods joins teammate se-
nior Jayden Micas in qualify-
ing for nationals.
Micas lifted 905 pounds in
the 132-pound weight divi-
sion at the White River meet
last month to qualify for na-
tionals. The minimum need-
ed for his weight division was
875 pounds.
After the squat press Sat-
urday, Woods said his lift of
435 pounds was right where
he wanted to be, but Micas
was unable to meet his squat
