Holy Cross (San Antonio, Texas) keeps stretching the imagination.
The 6-foot-1, 340-pound hulk set a state record Saturday by squatting 1,025 pounds at the Texas High School Powerlifting Association state meet.
Pena broke his own state record by 20 pounds and squatted more than a half ton. But establishing records is nothing new for the senior.
The powerlifting prodigy set the junior and sub-junior world record in 2016 with an 805-pound raw squat,
according to MuscleAndFitness.com. Pena also plays center in football and helped the Knights go 11-2 last fall and reach the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools Division 2 state semifinals.
