By Al Myers

The USAWA LIFTER OF THE MONTH for March has been awarded to Mary McConnaughey!
Mary made a return to the USAWA at the USAWA Grip Championships in Feb at the Dino Gym, and turned in a great day of lifting. Mary has been a stalwart competitor in the USAWA, and despite having some physical hardships the past few years, still lifts with the utmost enthusiam. I have never been around someone who motivates the other lifters the way Mary does – her presence alone increases the poundages of everyone in the meet!
I can not think of anyone more deserving of this recognition. Congrats Mary!
