Shoutout to the incredible athletes and supporters who made the Dell Rapids High School 2nd Annual Powerlifting Meet a success with over 90 area lifters participating! Our Quarriers showed up strong, and multiple lifters took home some hardware.💪🏼 A special thank-you goes to Coach Libby Loosebrock, who volunteers her time and energy to organize and coach the Dell Rapids Powerlifting Program. Your commitment to these athletes and to building a positive, competitive program does not go unnoticed.
