Updated Record List
By Al Myers
I just put up an updated Record List on the website. With the new record list, I also updated the CENTURY CLUB. Not alot of changes in the CENTURY CLUB. The Club still stands at 4 women and 25 men – the same as before.
The Womens Century Club doesn’t leave much new to report. RJ still leads the way with 296 USAWA records.
The Mens Century Club is still lead by our Prez, Denny Habecker, with 591 USAWA Records! Denny will hit the 600 mark by next count!!! There were a couple of changes in the rankings with Dean Ross moving up to 4th, passing John McKean. Since the last count, Dean has set an additional 42 records! That’s the most of anyone in the USAWA. Chad Ullom moved up from 9th to a tie at 8th with the LEGEND Frank Ciavattone at 286 records. Chad was the 2nd biggest “increaser” with 26 new records. LaVerne Myers moved up from 13th to 12th, passing Scott Schmidt. Both of these two have been increasing their records pretty steady over the past few years, and have stayed within “striking distance” of each other. Bill Clark lost the most records, down 19 but still holds the 11th spot. However, I bet it won’t be long and LaVerne and Scott will ecclipse him if Bill doesn’t get back on the platform in the USAWA. Eric Todd made the biggest jump in ranking, going from 22nd to 20th with the addition of 11 new USAWA records.
Now for my prediction of who will be the NEXT member of the CENTURY CLUB –
…… I’m going to go with Jeff Ciavattone. Jeff has been lifting off and on in the USAWA for over 20 years and is getting close. He currently holds 90 records, so all its gonna take is a couple more meets for him to make it.
Longshots to get in soon – Dan Wagman and Abe Smith. Both of these guys are over 90 records now, but it all depends of when and how often they plan to compete in the future. I hope by me calling them “longshots” that will serve as a little motivation!
