The unofficial list of at-large Region 2-1A boys weightlifter qualifiers was released March 31, with the result being that all of Keystone Heights High School’s 20 Olympic lifters who competed at the District 7 meet will advance and all but one of the Indians’ 20 traditional lifters will advance.
Suwannee High School will host the Region 2 meet on Saturday, April 6, at 10 a.m.
Keystone’s district champions automatically qualified: Tyson Baxter (119-pound class) in both Olympic and traditional, Colton Hollingsworth (129) in traditional, Wyatt Van Zant (139) in both Olympic and traditional, Davin Adams (154) in both Olympic and traditional, Ben Ulsch (169) in both Olympic and traditional, Zane Leger (199) in both Olympic and traditional, Jayden Goodman (219) in both Olympic and traditional, Trey Jeffries (238) in both Olympic and traditional and Tyler Duncan (unlimited) in Olympic.
The rest of the team then had to wait to see how their totals fared against lifters in the region’s three other districts, which would determine at-large qualifiers.
