As a parent of a female athlete lifter I believe all rules should be followed and the organizers and coaches that have broken the rules should be honest enough to say they weren’t. We are setting examples for this amazing young women everyday and honesty and owning up to mistakes should be easy enough as a role model. Do the right thing
Amanda supported: Challenge the Unfair Decision by Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting AssociationYes, I am a Coach @ a 6A High School. During our competition, one of my top contenders in the State squatted low enough 2 times with 2 reds & 1 green by same judges. Both times they were “below parallel”. Finally we put butt to ground, and of course, she still didn’t get it… and she got the other 2 lifts easily. I tried to talk to the Regional Directors, and had video proof, but was told it is what it is. There has to be a system in place to be able to dispute and/ or overturn bias judge decisions. I think we should be UIL sanctioned. There is too much corruption and dishonesty, and it is too easy to get away with cheating.
David supported: Challenge the Unfair Decision by Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting AssociationIf our kids work so hard to achieve something and then get slammed down for something like this what is that teaching them?
Lindsey supported: Challenge the Unfair Decision by Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting AssociationMy daughter is one of the powerlifters for Denison high school and she did amazing but the high school in question did not abide by the rules set they have weigh in with everybody else and they have to answer for actions the girls on the Denison high school team don’t deserve this and neither does the other teams that where affected by this scandal and action does need to be taken against the coaches and give the correct state championship to the rightful team that followed the rules plan and simple I am not just talking about Denison high school women’s powerlifting team this is for every team that was affected by this cheating scandal
Ashlie supported: Challenge the Unfair Decision by Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting AssociationUnfair decision made at THSWPA against rule book. All athletes should be at appointed weigh ins for ALL meets including Regional and State Powerlifting Meets. Just because you have a conflict due to other sports does not make your team opposed to following the rules. If we have to find a way by flying from a spring break vacation or drive 12+ hours to make weigh ins then you should hold your team accountable and they miss the other conflict (track meet). Especially if you’re close. These athletes should not of been able to participate in the state meet and earn metals after not weighing in. You can not send in “home weigh ins” due to conflict of schedules. Be fair!!! Let’s do right THSWPA. Doesn’t matter that you (director) and the coach are related. Doesn’t give you the right to make up your own rules and not follow the guidelines. Texas make powerlifting a UIL Sanctioned Sport! This program is growing so fast.
