Navarro won the 114-pound division squatting 255 pounds, bench pressing 110 and hitting a dead lift of 270 for a total of 635 pounds.
According to the Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association’s rulebook, girls in the 114-pound division automatically qualify for regionals if they lift a minimum total of 635 pounds.
