The 2026 APO Nationals powerlifting event ran July 10-12 at the Billings Hotel & Convention Center, drawing competitors to one of the city’s central multi-purpose sites.

These facilities matter now because summer schedules place repeated demands on fields and indoor spaces for high school and collegiate events that cannot shift elsewhere without disrupting local calendars.

Amend Park served as the site for two Class AA soccer matches on a Tuesday afternoon, where Billings West boys soccer finished scoreless against Great Falls and Billings Senior girls soccer ended 3-3 against Bozeman.

High School Programs Lean on Amend Park

Billings Christian High School posted a 49-39 win over Great Falls HomeSchool to reach a 23-5 season record that included 17 victories in its last 19 games, results that reflect steady use of available local courts and fields.

Rocky Mountain College sophomore Isabelle Heggem earned NAIA National Defensive Player of the Week honors after a weekend of play that again used campus and regional venues already scheduled for multiple teams.

Convention Center Supports Strength Sports

The Billings Hotel & Convention Center provided the indoor platform for the APO Nationals, an arrangement that allows powerlifting to occur alongside other events without requiring new construction.

Local athletic directors track these bookings through established channels at the convention center and Amend Park to keep training and competition dates aligned through the remainder of the summer.
