Summary
Council presented a proclamation recognizing Athens High School's 2025 women's powerlifting team as MHSPLA Division 1 state champions and singled out senior Mikaela Twome for a world championship deadlift.
Troy City Council opened its May 19 meeting with a certificate of recognition honoring the Athens High School 2025 women’s varsity powerlifting team for winning the MHSPLA Division 1 state championship.
Mayor Peter Baker read the proclamation into the record, noting the team’s consecutive state titles and national honors. The proclamation singled out senior Mikaela Twome (transcribed as Twung/Twome in portions of the record) for setting a national record with a 424‑pound deadlift and for winning a student world championship earlier in May. The mayor presented the proclamation on behalf of the council and invited coach Nick Lusk and team members to the podium.
Mikaela Twome thanked teammates and Coach Lusk for their support in brief remarks.
The recognition was ceremonial and placed on the meeting record; no council action beyond the presentation was required.
