WEST NASSAU - Keystone Heights High senior weightlifter Kaylee Wright and St. Johns Country Day School’s Addison Frisbee did as expected and returned home with Class 1A championship tickets Saturday at West Nassau High School.
Frisbee, the defending Olympic Snatch champion for coach Justin Frisbee, her dad, had some competition in her 129 weight class with Altha High’s Braeden Smith punching up a 295 total (125 snatch, 170 clean) to edge Frisbee’s Region 2-1A Olympic championship total of 270.
In 2023, FHSAA combined the Clean and Jerk total to the Olympic Snatch lifts to create the Olympic category.
For Keystone Heights’ Wright, a three time state meet performer, now at 169, a second lift at clean and jerk of 155 after a miss at 150 and a dominating 180 bench press got her two titles; Olympic and Traditional. Wright still has work to do with the top five lifters all totaling over 320 in Traditional and Olympics a clump at 270-290 with leader Kahlan Gant of Bay clearly the favorite with a 355 total in Olympic.
The medal difference in Traditional is just 50 pounds where Wright had the second best bench press. Gant was third in bench and that could spell a medal for Wright.
