MEET RESULTS
2013 USAWA NATIONAL POSTAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Congratulations to all the lifters that took part in the 2013 National Postal Championships!!! It was a well represented meet – with a total of 19 lifters taking part. Gabby Jobe was the lone female entrant – and for that she gathered the title of National Postal Champion. The Mens Division was a “slug fest” with several BIG NAME lifters competing. Dino Gym member Chad Ullom took top honors, edging out Orie Barnett. Troy Goetsch was third, Joe Ciavattone Jr. fourth, and Eric Todd fifth. The BIG BULL Bryan Benzel came in sixth, but he posted the highest total of the meet at 1261 pounds.
Gabby was the youngest lifter of the meet at 10 years of age. Denny “the PREZ” Habecker was the oldest lifter of the meet at 70 years of age. Gabby was the lightest competitor at 103 pounds. The lightest male lifter was Denny, at 190 pounds. The heaviest lifter of the meet was close between my two training partners Scott Tully and Mark Mitchell, as well as Lance Foster. Scott ended up reigning as the heavyweight supremo at 331 pounds – of solid muscle I might add!
