Records now online
by Al Myers
As some of you may have noticed, the USAWA Record List is now available on the USAWA website. It is placed under the top heading section “record list”. I will try to keep an updated version of the record list uploaded. The record list is very large PDF of the excel file. It may take a while for some systems to download it. There are now over 10,000 records in the USAWA Record List.
It has also been awhile since I have updated the Century Club, a listing that includes all lifters that have over 100 USAWA Records. It’s been over a year since I have published this update – but since there has been no real changes in it, there has not been much reason to do so. The “top ten” is exactly the same order, and no one new has been added. The BIG NEWS of the list is that Denny Habecker has become the FIRST USAWA lifter to top 500 records! That’s a big number, and has given Denny a huge lead over Art Montini. The biggest placing changer in the Mens Club has been Dean Ross, who has moved up two places to number 11. Ruth Jackson is closing in on Noi – and I predict will pass her within the next couple of years. The sad news is USAWA legend John Vernacchio has dropped out of the Century Club, leaving the total number at 24.
