El Campo ISD recognizes students advancing to state competitions and powerlifting team records
Summary
The board recognized middle- and high-school students who advanced to state-level Technology Student Association contests and honored powerlifting teams that set regional records and placed at state.
The El Campo Independent School District board recognized students and coaches at its March 6 meeting for recent competitive achievements in technology, athletics and powerlifting.
Holly Guthrie, a teacher who sponsors the middle-school Technology Student Association (TSA), introduced roughly 10 students who advanced from regional contests to state-level competitions in several events. Guthrie named students including Eric and Morgan Frater (challenging technology/speech, third place at regionals), Vivian Daniel, Noah Santiago (coding, first at regionals), Caden Baldwin and Liam Vasquez (electrical applications, first at regionals), Vivian Daniel and Emery Lemons (forensics, second at regionals), and AB York (career prep, advanced to state). Guthrie said about 10 students advanced from the February regional competition.
The board also recognized the high-school powerlifting team. Coach Matthew Vacaress summarized the season: the girls placed second as a team at regionals, with several athletes placing at state (names recorded in the board packet include Alice Periqueta, Adrienne Rodriguez, Bethany Huggins and Scarlett Martin). On the boys’ side the team placed third at regionals; individual regional and state placers include Dallas Zaldula (bench record 310 pounds at regional competition; re-broke bench at state), Isaac Mendez, Andy Garcia and Cameron Phillips. Vacaress described multiple individual lift records set during the season, including a 700-pound squat by a senior competitor at state and several personal-best increases across the roster.
Board members and staff took photos and congratulated students and parents. No formal board action was required for the recognitions.
