Vaughn Takes on the State’s Best in Powerlifting
Llano junior Rebecca Vaughn uses all her strength to hold still while earning a score on the dead lift as head coach Colton Center (back, left) observes.

The powerlifting season ended with a Llano High School Lady Jacket competing at the Class 3A Division state meet March 19.

Junior Rebecca Vaughn finished 11th overall with a squat of 320 pounds, a bench press of 200 pounds and a dead lift of 280 pounds for a total of 800 pounds in her state meet debut.

“We certainly did not win the thing, but she was there and she finished,” head coach Colton Center said. “And every time you finish — you don't bomb out — that's a huge accomplishment, especially when you're at state. So yeah, very proud of her.”
