Lift for Leroy

By Eric Todd

Stacy Todd completes a hands together bench press at the “Lift for Leroy”

Another Lift for Leroy is now in the rearview mirror, and what a day it was! 9 lifters participated in the Fourth Quarter postal. Lifters included 7 members of the Todd Tribe, joined by KCSTRONGMAN members Greg Cook and Lance Foster. The lifting there was fantastic, but I will save the postal results for Denny’s report. We then proceeded to the “Lift for Leroy” record day portion of our day. While all of the lifting was commendable, I continue to be impressed with the growth and development of our younger lifters. They are truly the future of KCSTRONGMAN and the USAWA. Results are as follows:

Goerner Deadlift Dozen Plus One

By Bill Clark

What this optimist thought would be the turning point in the future of the IAWA/USAWA turned out to be a major disappointment.

We had exactly eight entries in a contest that was designed to handle at least 100 – in which any registered IAWA/USAWA lifter could lift – with or without certified officials. Only three of the eight came from somewhere outside Clark’s Gym.

Injuries took their toll on some – including Abe Smith, John Carter and Allison Lupo. Tony Lupo lifted while recovering from a hard bout with flu and he was so depleted that he lost a close battle with Ol’ Clark for last place.

Our compliments to the winners – 79-year-old LaVern Myers and 61-year-old RJ Jackson – and to 84-year-old Tony Cook, an IAWA member. Tony finished second behind Myers.

It is a compliment to the aged crowd – seven of the eight were at least 48 years old – and to the eighth person – a 16-year-old newcomer to Clark’s Gym who shows the potential and the interest to work his way to the top of the list – Spencer Wenzel.
