We would like to congratulate our Spearman Junior High December Students of the Month:
6th grade-Madison Moore & Jacoby Moreno
7th grade- Aileen Baca & Braeden Maestas
8th grade-Kaylei Gaytan & Ricardo Penuelas
These students have exemplified what we strive to be as students at Spearman Junior High. Each month teachers will choose one male and one female from each class to represent SJH.
Gordon’s and 216 Main are celebrating our students with a drink and cookie each month.
On December 1st, two Spearman Jr. High students, Maddie Lozano (8th) and Connor Lozano (6th), competed in Olympic weightlifting at the North American Open Finals in Atlanta, Georgia.
Connor competed in the 49kg weight class and placed 2nd overall in the 13 and under age division. He had an exceptional performance successfully completing all 6 of his lifts, snatching a best 43kg/95lbs, and a 55kg/121lbs clean and jerk. His 98kg total will move him to 3rd in the nation in the 49kg weight class for the 2023 year.
Maddie is the reigning 59kg National Champion but moved up to the 64kg weight class for the meet. She matched a personal best 62kg/137lbs snatch but struggled in the clean and jerk due to illness, lifting 66kg/145lbs on her first attempt and missing her next two attempts at 70kg due to an elbow unlocking in the jerk. Her performance was still good enough to win gold in the 13 and under 64kg weight class with a 128kg total and will count as new Texas state records! She is now the 2022 National Champion and North American Open Champion!
Congrats to both of these strong students!
