HURRICANES TOP SHORTHANDED FINS IN GIRLS WEIGHTLIFTING

On Jan. 18, the Coral Shores Lady ’Canes played host to an in-county rival in girls weightlifting, squaring off against the Lady Fins from Marathon. The Hurricanes made the most of their opportunity against a shorthanded Marathon roster, avenging their loss to Marathon from earlier in the month to emerge victorious in both the Olympic (66-60) and Traditional (76-61) competitions. The lifters will now look for a strong close to their seasons at the district championships in Miami on Saturday, Jan. 28.
