Four Seabreeze weightlifters placed in the snatch competition at the Five Star conference boys championships March 23 at Flagler Palm Coast High School.
"This is the first year (of the snatch competition) and we're starting to get our feet wet with it," said coach Pat Brown.
Junior Chandler Edwards placed second in the 139-pound class with a 115-pound snatch. Senior Ethan Wakefield placed third in the 154-pound class with a 145-pound snatch lift, and Aiden Ford and Steven Taylor each placed fourth. Ford, a sophomore in the unlimited class had a 135- pound snatch, and Taylor, a 199-pounder, had a 155-pound snatch lift.
Taylor was the only Seabreeze lifter to reach the podium in the traditional bench press/clean and jerk competition, placing sixth with a 290-pound bench, and a 230 clean and jerk for a 520 total.
Seabreeze finished fifth in the snatch competition with 15 points and ninth in the traditional competition with one point.
FPC won the snatch title with 51 points. University was second with 40 points. Spruce Creek edged the host Bulldogs 52-50 in the traditional competition.
"For a lot of our guys, this is their first time being here," Brown said. "It's good for them to see what the competition is like, what the atmosphere is like."
