GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The upcoming 2021 Florida High School Boys Weightlifting State Championships will take place this weekend at multiple locations, just like the girl’s event did back in February. Classes 1A & 2A will compete at Port St. Joe High School on Friday & Saturday, while Class 3A will compete at St. Cloud High School on Saturday. This will be the second spring sport to return with a championship event since the pandemic began.

With the addition of a third classification, there will be at least one new team champion crowned in 2021. Due to this change, the 2019 defending team champions of Navarre and Citrus (Inverness), will each move up a classification and will now be competing in Classes 3A and 2A respectively. Of these two, Navarre will be making the strongest bid to repeat as they have qualified 10 lifters for the event in St. Cloud.
 
To assist with safety and capacity restrictions within both venues, all classifications will compete in a two-session per day format, with the lighter lifting divisions competing in the first session each day. An awards presentation for competing divisions will follow at the conclusion of each session. Tickets are currently on sale and available through GoFan for an advanced purchase rate of $9.00 per session, and a day of price of $12.00.
