   On Saturday, February 22, part of the Marcellus powerlifting team competed at the MHSPLA regionals meet at Mona Shores High School. The team has been preparing for this competition for several months on their own time with volunteer coaches Tanya Marsh and Megan Shenfeld. In order to compete at the state competition, the lifters had to meet the requirements set by MHSPLA. Lifters competed in three different lifts: back squat, bench press, and deadlift. Their scores were combined to get a total lift, which determined their placing.

The V girls placed 7th out of 18 teams.

The JV boys placed 9th out of 19 teams.
