Salmen senior Dwayne Coleman broke the Louisiana high school powerlifting record when he squatted 900 pounds, according to NOLA.com's Christopher Dabe.
"Coleman successfully set the record and ended the meet as Louisiana's strongest high school lifter of all time, based on a three-lift total of 2,005 pounds that included a bench press of 500 pounds and deadlift of 630," Dabe reported.
Per Hunter Bower of GeauxPreps.com, Coleman was crowned the Division II champion for the super heavyweight class and received Outstanding Lifter for the division. Thanks in large part to his efforts, Salmen tied for 10th in the team standings.
Coleman's mark blew last year's super heavyweight champions out of the water. Woodlawn's Mehki Smith had the highest total with 715 pounds in the squat en route to a Division I title.
If LSU football coach Brian Kelly is looking for any additional help along the offensive or defensive lines, it might be worth giving Coleman a call.
