Club of the Year Award
By Al Myers
The nomination & voting period is over for the 2021 USAWA yearly awards, to be awarded at the National Championships in several categories for outstanding performances within the USAWA. I have just finished the tabulations and I am getting ready to contact the awards shop to get the awards made up. So – I KNOW who the winners are but that’s still a secret until the awards presentation time! But there is ONE AWARD that is announced ahead of time – the USAWA Club of the Year. The reason it’s announced early is that it is really not a mystery as to who the winner is as this is the one award that is based on generating points instead of votes. I have outlined this point system several times in the past so I won’t rehash all that now. What I’m trying to say is this – anyone can add up the points on their own as ALL of the information is available on the website to do so, thus this winner is “no mystery”. No club can win an award like this based on one individuals performance or effort. It takes the contributions of several.
I’m proud to announce the USAWA CLUB OF THE YEAR FOR 2021……THE WINNER GOES TO THE DINO GYM. The Runner Up Club of the year was Frank’s Barbell Club.
The final standings for Club of the year (only top 5 listed) were:
1. Dino Gym – 57 points
2. Frank’s Barbell Club – 34 points
3. Habeckers Gym – 28 points
4. Clark’s Championship Gym – 25 points
5. KC Strongman – 21 points
As per the original rules for the Club of the Year, the defending USAWA Club of the Year is not eligible the following year, and instead is responsible for “passing the title” at the next year’s awards presentation. All past USAWA Club of the Year are archived on this website.
