Lifter of the Month-May

By Eric Todd

One of my absolute favorite championship events was in May, in the Heavy Lift Championships.  Outside of our national championship meet, the Heavy Lift is the longest running championship event in the USAWA.  This year’s event was out in Massachusetts, hosted by Frank Ciavattone and ran by Mark Raymond.  This year it was Nils Larson who emerged victorious, adding his name along the great champs like Frank Ciavattone, Steve Schmidt, and John Carter.  Due to that win, Nils Larson is awarded Lifter of the Month of May.  Way to go, Nils!
