USAWA Team Records

USAWA has a long history of team records with Joe McCoy and Bill Drybread setting records in the Team Clean & Press, Team Deadlift, Team Snatch & Clean, Team Snatch & Clean, One Arm and Team Snatch One Arm during the 1989 Nationals.

A USAWA Team Championship was started in in 2007, but has not been contested since 2020.  I may try to bring this back.

Since then, record have been set in 60 different lifts (20 Deadlift variations, 7 Clean to Overhead variations, 6 Snatch variations, 27 others).  

Some seam intuitive, but some require a little creativity.  Heavy lifts come to mind as not easy to figure out.

Recently the power couple of Allison and Tony Lupo have been on a mission and have set 16 masters records in the F/M category.  
  • Al Myers and Chad Ullom - 39 different team records
  • Dead Ross and Laverne Myers - 18 different team records
  • Allison and Tony Lupo - 15 different team records
I have yet to set a team record, but maybe I will convince Jarrod to humor me.

Despite the long history, team lifts are still a bit of a novelty.  They have only been contested live on the platform in the team championships.  Recently the number of records set is far eclipsed by individual records:
