The Highclimbers host the state powerlifting championships at 8 a.m. Saturday at the Mini-Dome.
The Shelton girls powerlifting team finished second and the boys placed third at a competition April 15 at Snohomish High School.
According to Shelton High School's Betsy Haskins, Nevaeh Haskins and Amanda Cruz-Santos won their weight classes. Judy Gaze, Raquel Ruiz and Aurora Marcy finished second and Ali Cheatham placed third.
Shelton boys Johnny Morales, Scott Jordan and Noah Wilbur each placed second and Carter Whitney earned third place.
"The boys' team is smaller than normal and was affected by a few early season issues, but the girls are in a good spot," coach Josh Munro said. "The girls have a shot at winning their fourth straight state championship if they can knock out a very strong Montesano team."
The Highclimbers are looking for a sixth straight state title between either the boys or the girls. The Shelton boys and girls each have four state titles.
"This is a very veteran team so we should perform well individually at state," Haskins said. "If all the girls lift to their ability, they will take down state."
