Middle Atlantic Postal
by Al Myers
The 2012 Middle Atlantic Postal Meet appeared to be a HUGE SUCCESS for the “second installment” of the USAWA quarterly postal series. The meet had three women lifters and 13 men lifters entered. All three women lifters were junior lifters, with my daughter Molly pulling out the victory over Brianna and Gabby, two girls from fine “lifting stock” I would have to say. Congrats to all these young gals for their performances – and I hope to see more of it in the future.
The men’s division was “hotly contested”. I officiated Chad Ullom with his lifts, and when he finished the postal meet I thought for sure that his efforts wouldn’t be topped. But then again – I didn’t take into account the BIG YOUNG BULL Bryan Benzel from the Jobe’s Steel Jungle. Bryan edged Chad out by only 5 adjusted points!!
