It was close, but Yesterday’s Lifters get 18 wins to Today’s Lifters 16 wins, with two ties. Now the overall score is Today 2 wins – Yesterday 1 win. Tomorrow’s round will be the final round – with Yesterday’s 242# and SHW Classes battling Today’s 105K, 110k, 115K, 120K, 125K, and 125K+ Classes. Some really BIG NAMES will take each other on in this one. Yesterday’s team will include guys like Wilbur Miller, Bob Burtzloff, Steve Schmidt, Wayne Jackson, and Clay Oliver versus Today’s team of Frank Ciavattone, Joe Ciavattone, Bob Moore, Chad Ullom, Mike McBride and others. Yesterday’s team needs this win to say that Yesterday’s lifters are just as good as Today’s lifters. I can’t wait to see how this turns out – as it appears Yesterday’s team is stacked with a lot of great talent. Come back tomorrow to the USAWA Daily News for the final results – and the answer to that long asked question.
