2021 Postal Series

By Eric Todd

Well, the 2021 postal series is all wrapped up. The results are all in and tallied, so it is time to reflect on the postal series for the year.  We had a total of 35 lifters participate in at least one leg of the postal this year.  That compares to 39 in 2020 (which I attribute to covid due to the postals being about all we could compete it), 29 in 2019 and 28 in 2018.  I could go further back and might at some point, but you can see 35 was a pretty good turnout for us.  We offer a special recognition for those who compete in all 4 legs known as the Grand Slam Champions.  This year that title goes to the following lifters: Abe Smith, John Carter, Randy Smith, Dave DeForest, Nick Frieders, Barry Pensyl, Dave Hahn, Anthony Hose, Denny Habecker, Eric Todd, Chris Todd, Bill Clark, Lance Foster, Sylvia Stockall, RJ Jackson, Beth Skwarecki, Phoebe Todd, and Janet Thompson. Here are the overall postal series top lifters for 2021:

10 Denny Habecker 4 43

What if find remarkable is that the top 6, and 7 of the top 10 men’s lifters come from Clark’s Gym.  They have put together a heck of a year.  I look forward to what 2022 brings.  Good job to all of our postal lifters.  We need to keep this great series moving forward!
