SEWARD, Neb. – The second home powerlifting meet in program history played out on Saturday (April 12) as Concordia University, Nebraska Powerlifting welcomed athletes from Midland University and Coffeyville Community College (Kan.) to campus. The field featured 27 competitors, including 10 who wore Bulldog Blue. At the conclusion of the meet, Head Coach Freddie Myles’ program honored a class of seven seniors.
The display was another marker of how far the program has grown since its inaugural season of 2022-23. Concordia and its competition on Saturday put on a fine show inside the PE Center Gym.
“I think the meet ran smoothly,” Myles said. “Our kids that volunteered to help load, spot and run the computer systems did a great job. Our lifters all did great as well. We had some really strong performances with multiple athletes setting new personal bests. Overall, they did great. It was nice to have Midland and Coffeyville here again. They’re two really good programs.”
A summary of the Bulldogs’ efforts on Saturday is included below. The crew of competitors included two of the seniors: Tyrek Fuller and Adam Widmann. As part of the small-scale meet, no weight class contained more than three competitors. At 75kg on the men’s side, Concordia’s Garrett Reimche came out on top with a total of 585kg.

Said Myles of the senior class, “It’s a big deal to have our first class go through. They laid the foundation for future classes. When went from only a handful of people making nationals to having four athletes on the podium on the women’s team on the podium and a national champion and American record holder. That’s a big step in three years. It was nice to be able to honor our seniors.”
The home meet wrapped up the 2024-25 competition schedule for Concordia Powerlifting. The Bulldogs competed at the 2025 Collegiate Powerlifting National Championships a week prior and placed in the top five on the women’s side and earned a team banner.
