Updated Century Club
By Al Myers
An updated CENTURY CLUB list has been put up on the website, and with this update comes some BIG NEWS! We now have two new members in the century club – Johnny Strangeway and Aidan Habecker.
Johnny has to be the fastest person ever to make the Century Club. He has achieved this in only a few short years. Usually it takes a lifter over 10 years to earn this achievement. But for those that have lifted against Scottish Johnny should not be surprised as he seems to have the ability to set a new USAWA record in every lift he tries.
Aidan is the FIRST teenager to ever make the Century Club. This is very notable as we have had many great teenage lifters compete in the USAWA throughout the years. I know he has worked hard to achieve this and something he should be very proud of.
I was glad to see my buddy Dave Glasgow get back in the Century Club. Dave’s been in before but dropped off the list a while back. My advice to Dave is not to “sit back” and relax now that you are back in the Century Club. If some of your records get broken you need to keep setting new ones to stay in!
The biggest mover in the Century Club is our Prez Denny Habecker. Denny is up 20 since last count and continues to expand his big lead in number of records, which now stands at a staggering 642. A couple of lifters have made moves up on the list. Chad Ullom moved up to the number six spot and Eric Todd made a big jump from number 18 to number 15. The womens Century Club is still being led by RJ Jackson at 299 records.
