The Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa is offering our group a reduced rate of $179/night!  Make your reservations now!

This will be another 3 day event and we will be able to accommodate up to 540 athletes!  Please ensure you register for your proper division.  Divisions will not be immediately validated.  After validation occurs, and you have registered for the wrong division, your registration will be refunded minus $5 to cover credit card processing.  Meaning, you will need to register again.  It also means that, if your division is now sold out, you will have to be wait listed.

We will close registration on December 1.  This is done so that travel arrangements can be made with confidence in advance.  A schedule will be ready on, or about, December 1 and will be similar to the below very tentative schedule.

*If space allows, we will accommodate coaches that want to lift at the beginning of the event.

The 2026 Texas State Weightlifting Championships and Open will award:

• Medals to first, second, and third place for all weight categories across all divisions
• Best Lifters
  • Best Male/Female
  • Best Overall Lifters
• Best Teams
