Keystone Heights High School had 16 girls weightlifters earn at-large berths in the Olympic and traditional events at the Region 2-1A finals, which will be held Saturday, Feb. 4, at 9 a.m. at West Nassau High School.
The Indians had three automatically qualify in the Olympic event by virtue of winning their weight classes at the District 6-1A finals: Kenly Chitty (154 class), Kaylee Wright (169) and Paige Harrington (183). They will be joined at the Region 2 meet by Abbigail Anthony-Rozier (119), Heidi Knapp (119), Trista Harrison (129), Ashlyn Brown (154), Morgan Wilson (169), Lily Mitchell (183), Harmony Geiger (199) and Dakota Herring (unlimited).
Ariel King (129) was the only lifter to earn an automatic Region 2 berth in the traditional event, but she will be joined by eight teammates who received at-large bids: Chloe Still (139), Chitty, Brown, Wright, Wilson, Mitchell, Harrington and Geiger.
At-large berths were determined by comparing the totals from all four district meets in Region 2.
