We are working on getting national results from before we had a website recorded on the website in an effort to preserve a more complete history. The first one that I am posting here is from 1997.

UPDATES for the OLD TIME STRONGMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Weigh-ins will now begin at 8 am – 9:30 am with lifting beginning at 10 am. The meet has 20 plus lifters so far and therefore the extra weigh in time.

In closing, I am super excited to meet and greet everyone at the 2023 OLD TIME STRONGMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!

They are truly the future of KCSTRONGMAN and the USAWA. Results are as follows:
