Hermann Goerner Deadlift Dozen-Plus One

By Bill Clark

Once again, the Gym offered a competition open to the world – and the world wound up being those who work out in Clark’s Gym. Regardless, there was plenty of good lifting.

The easy winner was Nick Frieders. Had Abe Smith been available for the weekend, he and Nick could have squared off fairly even.

The final results are as follow:

Take it 3 or 4 miles take a left onto 292, which is a gravel road. Take it a mile or maybe less to the first right, Deer Creek.

Meet Announcement

Our honorable president, Denny Habecker has sanctioned the Memorial Record Day.  This meet honors our former USAWA members who have passed over the years.  Some that immediately come to mind are Art Montini, John Vernacchio, Mike Murdoch, Clyde Myers, Tom Ryan, and Joe McCoy.  I know there are many others, and too many to list for our purposes here.  At any rate, it is a great way for us to honor those who have come before us in the organization.  Here are the meet details:

Date: December 18, 2021

Time: 10:00 AM

Location:   Habecker’s Gym, Lebanon, PA

Please contact Denny if you plan on attending to remember these great people and set or break some USAWA records.

Lifter of the Month for July 2021

I am going to go out on a limb for July’s lifter of the month.  Since there, were no meets contested in July, but the second quarter postal goes through the end of June and is reported n July, I will use that for the lifter of the month.  After making that determination, the selection was easy.  Ruth Jackson is your 2021 July lifter of the month!  Ruth won one of the more impressive postal women’s division I have seen in dominating fashion.  She defeated National and World Champion Elizabeth Skwarecki and Canadian lifter Sylvia Stockall by over 100 points apiece.  Ruth has been a dominant force in the USAWA for many moons now.  This is her 5th time being named lifter of the month for the USAWA. Please join me in congratulating Ruth on being July 2021 Lifter of the Month!

Lifter of the Month for June 2021

Since I have taken over as Secretary of the USAWA back in June, I have been planning to pick back up with naming lifters of the month of our organization.  Well, I am a bit behind, but I intend on catching up.  With June being our National Championship, I am picking from our National Champs for this months recognition.  Abe Smith gets the nod over Beth Skwarecki for June’s lifter of the month for besting 3 former National Champions in Denny Habecker, Mike McBride, and Randy Smith.  Abe totaled 1120 pounds, and outscored 2nd place by over 50 points.  Congrats to Abe for being named Lifter of the Month of June 2021!
