Record List

USAWA RECORD LIST

The USAWA Record List and Team Record List is available as a PDF and an Excel File for download.  The date that the list was last updated is listed beside the record list files.  The Record List file is large (over 10 MB)  so there may be problems with downloading with some systems.  Age group and bodyweight classes are noted with age in years and bodyweight in kilograms.  All records are recorded in pounds.  “ALL” stands for the overall record for a bodyweight class.  “M” and “F” designate male and female divisions. “NAT” is the bodyweight class record for the National Championships.

Here’s a new table. Top individual performers who may have been part of more than one team. Diya and Nisha Gupta as well as Tony and Allison Lupo “added” 2 team records as the search criterion was looking from row 8 on down rather than row 2. That was due to the addition of rows above what was row 2 since Fall 2024.
