These results were first posted on 9/11/2024, but Al later wrote to me: “There was an error by the US Postal Service in which one club’s entries did not make it to my address.  I felt it was the right thing to do to have these entries added to the World Postal Championships.” The updated results are below.

Another great year for the IAWA World Postal Championships!! 

This year we had 55 lifters compete from the United States, Australia, and England. This World Postal Championships is one of  three (with the World Championships and the Gold Cup being the other two) promoted by IAWA. I want to REALLY thank all  those that participated. Your participation is what makes this a great event! As per the tradition the past few years, the lifts of  the first day Worlds were contested. I’ve included best lifters, individual overall rankings, 3 person team rankings, and club  rankings. 

The Overall Best Lifter was ABE SMITH, followed by CHLOE BRENNAN and RJ JACKSON. The Overall Best 3-person Team went  to BURTON’S POWERHOUSE (Chloe Brennan, Josh Davidson, Matt Jones). The Overall Best Club went to CLARK’S GYM, which  had 14 members participate. The Overall Best Association went to the USAWA, with the IAWAUK in second, and the ARWF in  third.  

The youngest lifter that entered was LOGAN WENZEL at 9 years of age. The oldest lifter was BILL CLARK at 92 years of age!  The highest total weight lifted was by MATT JONES with 465 kilos.  

If anyone notices any errors in these results please let me know as soon as possible so I can get things corrected. Sometimes I  have difficulties reading the handwriting on the official scoresheets.  

Again, I want to thank everyone for entering this meet and making it an outstanding annual event in IAWA.
