USAWA RECORD LIST

The USAWA Record List and Team Record List is available as a PDF and an Excel File for download.  The date that the list was last updated is listed beside the record list files.  The Record List file is large (over 10 MB)  so there may be problems with downloading with some systems.  Age group and bodyweight classes are noted with age in years and bodyweight in kilograms.  All records are recorded in pounds.  “ALL” stands for the overall record for a bodyweight class.  “M” and “F” designate male and female divisions. “NAT” is the bodyweight class record for the National Championships.
