KCSTRONGMAN once again has the priveledge of hosting the USAWA Old Time Strongman Chamionship. Though one of the newer championships in the organization, it has often been one of the better attended USAWA events. It is my hope that this year does not disappoint. In the seven years that this championship has been held, there have been 6 different overall men’s champions. I have won it twice, and am joined by Al Myers, Chad Ullum, Denny Habecker, Abe Smith, and Greg Cook. In the women’s division, we have had champions in Whitney Piper, Jenna Lucht, and 2 time champion, Heather Tully. We will see what 2018 bring in the way of champions. Here is a great opportunity to add your name to that list! Though the weather was quite nice last year, early September in Missouri has the distinct possibility of being hot. The facility is not air conditioned. Nor do we have running water, so the pot is an outhouse out back. I will sweep out the wasp nests and spider webs prior to the meet, so hopefully it will meet your expectations. If those two items have not disuaded you from competing, you will be pleased to know that we have lots of weight, and stout equipment. There have been many good lifters train and compete here over the years; it is a fine atmosphere for lifting big. So, put this one on your calendar. My hopes are that we cam make this the biggest OTSM championship ever!
