Club Champs REMINDER
by Al Myers
The entrance of the historic Ambridge Barbell Club!
It will not be long now and the USAWA CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS will be taking place. This meet is hosted by one of the oldest clubs in the USAWA (the Ambridge BBC) and directed by a couple of the oldest guys in the USAWA (Art Montini & John McKean). The equipment in the club has been around at least a century (some forged by Bob Hoffman), and I believe the building was one of the first ones built in the Pittsburgh area (an old VFW hall).
All of this adds up to a GREAT PLACE for an ALL ROUND WEIGHTLIFTING CHAMPIONSHIPS! Ambridge Barbell Club has been the site of the Club Champs since it started, and is the perfect location for it. Ambridge is in the “center” of the USAWA membership, and is within a long day drive for most everyone. The Dino Gym will have a team present again, as well as the JWC, Ambridge BBC, and Habeckers Gym. There may be a couple of other clubs entered as well.
All it takes to enter is three club members to form your club’s team. This is a team competition, and NOT an individual competition. The point scores of the three club members are added together to form a club score. The club with the highest team total is declared the USAWA Club Champion of the year.
DATE REMINDER – SATURDAY MARCH 2nd
Entry information is available under USAWA Future Events in right column of the homepage.
