Lifter of the month – Mark Raymond
By Al Myers
Mark Raymond lifting at the 2016 IAWA World Championships, in Lebanon, PA.
The USAWA LIFTER OF THE MONTH for January, 2018 goes to Mark Raymond, of Frank’s Barbell Club!
Mark has been very involved over the past few years in the USAWA, and is an active participant in meets hosted by Frank’s Barbell Club. Mark helped Frank host the Fall Classic RD in January in Massachusetts, at Kim Lydon’s Gym. Mark “took charge” of the sanctioning process and in submitting all the results for the meet. I was so impressed with the way Mark handled this, and how he properly wrote up the meet report with results on the website. In addition to doing all this, he also put up some great lifts for USAWA record at the meet!
Great job Mark – you are well deserving of the Lifter of the Month award!
