Record Day Postal Meet

By Al Myers

This has been a disappointing year for the USAWA due to the COVID19 shutdown.  With all the meet cancellations and the postponement of taking sanction requests it has become the “dark year” of the USAWA.  For the first time in the history of our organization Nationals, Worlds, and the Gold Cup was cancelled.   I have been discouraged from all this – to the point that I have not even put much on our USAWA website.  I know others in the organization have been discouraged as well.

I’m so glad we still have our Postal Series going.  I was very pleased to see the great participation in the 3rd Quarter Postal Meet!  The Postal Meets give us something to look forward to, and a focus to train the all round lifts.   The USAWA under the direction of the Postal Meet Director Denny Habecker has planned a RECORD DAY POSTAL MEET for the month of November.  The general rules of a postal meet will apply, with all lifts done on a single day (up to a MAX 5 lifts per lifter).  I encourage all USAWA clubs to “take charge” and organize this postal record day that best fits their schedule for their lifters in November.  Entry forms must be completed fully (and signed) and sent to Denny to be counted as official.
