MEET RESULTS
THE 2010 DELAWARE VALLEY OPEN POSTAL MEET
BILL COOKSON WINS BY CLOSE MARGIN
Bill Cookson, of the Dino Gym, won the Delaware Valley Postal Meet following his return to the gym from being overseas fulfilling his military obligations.
I just received the results of the Delaware Valley Postal Meet from John Wilmot, which is one of the four quarterly postal meets that are part of the USAWA Postal Series. The number of competitors was slightly down, probably due to the other All-Round competitions that were occurring at the end of September, but the quality of lifting was high. Bill Cookson made his comeback to the USAWA after being gone overseas on military duty by edging out Randy Smith. It came down to ONE POINT!! That is as close as it gets. Helen Kahn competed in her first USAWA event, and was the top woman lifter.
