Meet Brylee Batiste, a 17 year old standout student at Abbeville High School, who will be a senior this coming school year. Brylee excels academically and is actively involved in DECA and the dance team. However, her true claim to fame lies in the world of powerlifting.
Brylee recently clinched the Louisiana High School Championship in her weight class and was named Powerlifter of the Year in 2023. She recently set a world record in squats for her age and weight class, and this isn't her first time breaking records. Two years ago, she set a world record in the 14-15 year-old category.
This year, Brylee has been named the USA High School National Champion and has qualified for the world meet in St, Paul's Bay, Malta. She will be representing Abbeville on one of the largest stages in the powerlifting world for a 17-year-old high school student.
To support Brylee's journey to Malta, her family has organized a po'boy fundraiser. Join them at Abbeville High on July 20th between 11 AM and 2 PM to grab a delicious po'boy for $10 and help support this incredible young athlete.
Let's show our support for Brylee as she prepares to#abbevillen#iloveabbevillee#abbevilleyouthI#POWERLIFTINGchampionl#supportlocalathletesChampion #SupportLocalAthletes
