Kylie Corley, a member of the Choctaw Nation and a senior at Valliant High School, won the State Powerlifting Championship in the 168-lb class, marking another incredible milestone as her career with the Valliant Bulldogs comes to an end.
After missing the opportunity to compete at the state meet during her freshman year, Kylie made it her mission to earn a spot on that stage. That determination set in motion a career that would position her as one of—if not the most decorated powerlifters in Valliant High School history.
As a junior, Kylie won gold at Regionals, earning her place at State, where she finished 5th overall. The following year, she captured her second Regional Championship, proving she was the strongest 168-pound lifter south of I-40. That same season, she went on to win State Gold and set a new state record with a 370-lb squat.
This year’s competition was especially fierce, with the top challengers all returning juniors—two of whom had also set state records. Kylie prepared for the challenge and rose to the occasion once again. As a senior, she captured her third straight Regional title and battled through tough competition to become a two-time State Champion.
Kylie finishes her Bulldog career as a three-time Regional Champion, two-time State Champion and State Record Holder, while also going undefeated her final two seasons.
“Thank you Kylie Corley for your contributions to the sport and inspiring the next generation of girl powerlifters.
