Making history by participating in a first-ever event, Meridian’s Raechel Ramirez made the most of the opportunity by earning a trip to the Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association’s “Unequipped” State Championship last Thursday at the Comerica Center in Frisco. But once there, Ramirez was not done yet as she claimed the fourth place medal in the 165-pound weight class with a total weight of 715 pounds, powering her way to a 285-pound squat, throwing up a 120-pound bench press, and fighting her way to a 310-pound deadlift.
