New Officials at Clarks

By Al Myers

Clark’s Championship Gym is back in action in the USAWA! Bill has sanctioned two meets this spring – the Goerner Deadlift and the Backbreaker Pentathlon.   Our Official’s Director Joe Garcia has confirmed the status of two officials at Clark’s Gym for Level 2 Lifetime Status  – Steve Schmidt and James Foster.  Both Steve and James were two of the first to ever take the officials exam in the USAWA.   They have both officiated at Clark’s Gym for many years and had no problem meeting the 25 meet minimum.   I do want to mention that it is the person’s responsibility to REQUEST official’s status (if they have meant the criteria), thus the reason they have been added just now.  There’s no point in the USAWA  adding officials to the Official’s List if they do not plan to officiate.

Also – Clark’s Gym member David DeForest has just passed the Rules Exam and is now added to the list “Official in Training”.   Once David has completed his three practical officiating events he will become a Level 1 Official.

Congrats to Steve, James and David!!!
