Tony Hose-Benchpress Decathalon Champ!
This month’s selection goes to Tony Hose of Clark’s Gym. Tony gets the nod for May’s recognition due to his impressive victory in the Bench press Decathlon in Columbia, MO. This was Tony’s first ever all-round competition making his win even more impressive. He defeated bench press specialist, Dave Beversdorf by 175 points. Congrats Tony! Well deserved!

Thanks to our records director, John Strangeway, the USAWA records were updated on September 27th. This newest record update is current through the Clark’s Gym vs, Franks Barbell Club postal. Huge thanks to Johnny for all the work he does to keep this records list current.

This was a tough one, as we only had one March event in the first quarter postal. Both the men’s winner, Dan Wagman and the women’s winner, RJ Jackson are quite deserving. I am giving the nod to RJ this time around for absolutely crushing what had to be one of the toughest women’s fields in any postal event. She was over 85 points ahead of her nearest competitor in a very tough Sylvia Stockall as well as third place Beth Skwarecki, who is a national and world champion. Congrats RJ! Well deserved!
