Century Club Update

By Eric Todd

Dave DeForest-One of our newest members of the Century Club

Dave DeForest-One of our newest members of the Century Club

With the newest record update, I figured it was time to take a new look at the Century Club.  And there has been some movement.  The men’s Century Club, our biggest mover was no surprise.  It was Abe smith, and if he is in a meet, you know he is challenging for top honors, and records are going to be one of the many casualties in his wake.  Abe jumped up 39 records in his count, and that moved him up 9 spots to number 17.  Randy Smith jumped up the second most spots by moving four to number 25 on our list.  Big Frank Ciavattone improved his count by 21 records, and that saw him go from eighth on our list to seventh.  Myself and our founder, Bill Clark moved up 20 and 19 records, respectively, but maintained what place we sit in.  Biggest news in the men’s division is the addition of Dave DeForest, of Clark’s Gym.  This makes Dave the fifth member of Clark’s Gym to make the cut.  Dave sits at 111 records and is tied for 28th place.

Phoebe Todd becomes the fifth member of the Women's Century Club, and the youngest member to ever do it at age 12

The Women’s Division once again saw very little movement.  RJ Jackson stands firm in first place, Noi Phumchona stays in second, Mary McConnaughey in third, and Susan Sees in fourth.  This is the way this list has looked for some time.  There is a new name on the list, though.  Young Phoebe Todd has broken through the Century mark at 104 records.  Unless I am missing something (and I am not), Phoebe is the youngest member ever of the Century Club.  She joins the ranks at a mere twelve years of age.

Record List and Century Club

Plese note, our records director John Strangeway has been doing some work on cleaning this list up.  So if you are unsure why your count is lower than you think, that is why.  There were duplicate records for the same lift spanning decades.  So, for a time, you might have had a record listed that had since been beat, but your record remained on the books.  So, while we are not claiming it is perfect, this should be a more accurate reflection of where you stand in the record count.

New record List Out

By Eric Todd
The newest record list is out and posted. This list is current through the “Lift for Leroy Record Day.” If you are uncertain if your record should be included or not, please refer to the results page. If your lift was completed in a meet that was posted after “Lift for Leroy” it is not and should not be posted yet. Hope you guys enjoy Johnny’s work, and to see where you and your friends fall on the records list. Will be posting an update on the century club soon.

Recording Records-Converting Kilos to Pounds

A few years ago the call was made to allow partial pounds in our record book. This was mostly due to converting kilograms meets to pounds to not shortchange the US crowd. This carried over to using half pounds throughout. It has been requested by a member we adhere to the organization’s rules and no longer use partial lbs. All current partial records will be rounded down as per the rules of the USAWA. Please remember for future record attempts to no longer use partial pounds.
