USAWA

The 2022 Postal series had great participation again! Over the 4 Postals we had 36 men and 12 women that competed in at least one postal. This year, the results of the postal series was done differently. The name of the last postal was changed from the Postal Championship to the fourth quarter postal. The championship was determined by total points from all four postal competitions. The overall placing in the meet determines your points. I.E.- if three lifters compete, lifter number one gets 3 points, lifter number 2 gets 2 points and lifter number three gets 1 point. Obviously then, as more lifters enter, more points can be earned for winning and all lifters earn points regardless of where they place overall. Just entering will earn points toward the Postal Series Ranking. While in the past the last postal was deemed the championship and was worth double points, this year it was scored the same as all of the others.

Several lifters that competed in all the Postal meets last year and they deserve to be recognized. These lifters are the GRAND SLAM WINNERS: Beth Skwarecki, R.J. Jackson, Stacy Todd, Kim Van Wagner, Lilly Todd, Phoebe Todd, Janet Thompson, Dan Wagman, Abe Smith, Randy Smith, Dave Deforest, Barry Bryan, Dave Hahn, John Carter, Tony Hose, Denny Habecker, Tony Lupo, Jeff Wenzel, Wyatt Sawyer, Travis Luther, Barry Pensyl, Chris Todd, Sanjiv Gupta, Bill Clark, Leroy Todd, and Everett Todd. that is a pretty stout group of Grand Slam lifters!

Now for the overall ranking for the 2022 USAWA Postal Series!
