Nueces County Commissioners Court Thursday adopted a resolution recognizing the Robstown Early College High School Lady Pickers powerlifting team for winning their fourth consecutive Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association 4A‑D2 state championship on March 14, 2025.

The proclamation highlighted individual performances including senior Leah Alanis, who tied the 4A squat record with a 425‑pound squat, tied the 4A bench‑press record at 250 pounds and set a state total record at 1,025 pounds. The court recognized several other team members’ placings and named head coach John Sanchez and assistant coaches Josh Hernandez and Katie Breeze in its remarks.

Coach John Sanchez thanked the court and praised the athletes’ discipline and daily training regimen. Commissioner remarks celebrated the team’s accomplishments and encouraged students to continue representing the community in athletics and academics.

A motion to adopt the recognition was made and seconded; the court approved the proclamation by voice vote.
