Meet Results

By Eric Todd, USAWA Secretary/Treasurer

Another one goes down into the history books.  The meet was filled with some exciting PRs and record breaking by a few junior lifters,  a few veteran lifters, 3 returning OTSM champions, and a new lifter to the USAWA.  Throughout the day, it seemed difficult to tell who was actually in the drivers seat.  Here is how the day unfolded.

We started the meet off with the Cyr Press.  Out of the 9 lifters, 6 of them set national records in this discipline.  2019 defending women’s champion, Phoebe Todd was the lone women’s lifter at this years championship.  She hit a 24 pound lift, with a 4th lift for record of 26.5.  Three male lifters went over 100 pounds.  Clint Poore and Chris Todd went 104 pounds, with me hitting the top lift in the Cyr Press with a good lift of 165.

The next lift contested was the Habecker Lift.  I will tell you that there were a few of our lifters (myself included) were cursing his High Mightiness for the lift named in his honor.  The Todd children asked me in training a few times why I had chosen such a vile lift, and even suggested we email Denny to express the distain we have for his lift.  But we contested it, nonetheless.  This time, 7 of the nine lifters broke records.  3 lifters went over 300 pounds.  Former Champion Greg Cook went 315 in the Habecker, with me going 320, and Clint Poore having the top lift of 325.  I had 340 on its way up, when something gave in my hamstring, finding me on the floor, cursing Denny’s name.  This effectively sidelined me to my officiating duties for the rest of the contest.

The third lift was the Hackenschmidt Floor Press.  4 lifters set national records here.  Phoebe, Everett, and Leroy Todd all set PRs here, with Phoebe’s and Leroy’s being national records.  Dean Ross also set a national record on this lift.  But the highlight of this lift was Clint Poores breaking the all time record for this lift, besting the 435 that Dan Wagman set back in 2013, with a lift of 450.

The fourth lift of the day, the Kennedy Lift, would determine who the 2021 OTSM champion would be.  The 3 Todd kids all hit big PRs and national records in the Kennedy.  Everett and Leroy both were successful with 125 pounds, with Leroy hitting a successful 135 for a fourth.  Phoebe hit a big 220.  When it appeared that Lance Foster had almost opened too heavy with his ground out attempt on 275, he just kept grinding and ended up with a big lift of 360.  Chris Todd and Clint Poore both hit a best of 385.  Former National and World Old Time Strongman Champion Greg Cook had not even taken an attempt yet.  He started warming up.  400+, 500+, 600+ all looked easy.  He then called for his opener of 695.  As Greg has gone over 800 pounds here, I had no doubt. Unfortunately for him, it was not to be on this day.  Something was giving in his hamstring, and after failing the first attempt, Greg decided to call it a day.
