Mariner Tritons

Diaz was not only the top Olympic Weightlifting performer in District 2A-13 in her weight class, but was the No. 1 performer overall in the category. Her total lift of 295 pounds was best in the 139-lb division, and was enough to pace the field. The victory gives her an automatic bid to regional competition.

“It feels normal to see this result because it’s what I expected and deserve. I’m striving to be the best, working hard every day, and locking in before regionals.”
