Thanks to our records director, John Strangeway, the USAWA records were updated on September 27th. This newest record update is current through the Clark’s Gym vs, Franks Barbell Club postal. Huge thanks to Johnny for all the work he does to keep this records list current.

This was a tough one, as we only had one March event in the first quarter postal. Both the men’s winner, Dan Wagman and the women’s winner, RJ Jackson are quite deserving. I am giving the nod to RJ this time around for absolutely crushing what had to be one of the toughest women’s fields in any postal event. She was over 85 points ahead of her nearest competitor in a very tough Sylvia Stockall as well as third place Beth Skwarecki, who is a national and world champion. Congrats RJ! Well deserved!

We are working on getting national results from before we had a website recorded on the website in an effort to preserve a more complete history. The first one that I am posting here is from 2008. They are all transcribed from the “Strength Journal” by Bill Clark. This was an idea of Frank Ciavattone’s and was presented at the national meeting. Enjoy a little piece of history:
