Due to a phenomenal response and confirmed number of lifters participating the Gold Cup scheduled for November 2nd, 2024 – Frank’s Barbell Club has updated the meet location to the Balch Elementary School, 1170 Washington St. Norwood MA 02062.
USAWA Members:
We have the records list updated through the records days that were held during the weekend of October 11th-12th 2024. As promised we will update the century club every quarter. Congratulations to Jeff Wenzel and Leroy Todd who are new members to the Century Club. Also, congratulations to Lisa Gore who became the 10th female member to join the century club. As usual, please let me know if you find anything that needs fixing. Email me at lupoa0313@gmail.com.
Sincerely,

Dear USAWA:
After some research, I think the Team Records are up to date through 30 September 2024. I could not find team records performed during late 2021 – February 2024. If you are aware of any team records set, or there are any issues with past team records, please e-mail me. Since March of this year, there has been renewed interest in Team Lifts. I think I found them all through the 3rd Quarter, but if I missed any, please let me know.
What to do with team records? The individual records are the centerpiece of USAWA records, so the number of individual records will not include team records. Thus, the “Century Club” will only include the individual records. However, each quarter, I’ll publish the top team duets of all time as well as the top 10 individuals who set team records. Every year, we’ll publish the number of “combined records” for those in the Century Club, but it will appear under the Team Records information.
Thank you!
Tony Lupo
The IAWA World meeting was held this past weekend (10/5/2024) in conjunction with the World Championships in Eastbourne, England. The minutes are attached. Of note:
Thanks to the combined efforts of the records team and the EB, we are up to date on records through September 29th, 2024. If you find errors, please send them to me. The next step in the process is to update the Team Lifts file. If anyone has the team lift file as it was in 2021 or later, please send it to me as soon as possible. Team lifts have been popular lately and we’ll get those updated soon. Also, I’ll update the century club at the end of each quarter going forward. Thanks!
Tony Lupo
