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:

It was entitled "5 Ways to Grow the USAWA in 2025" and suggested Recruiting meet directors in geographic areas without a USAWA presence Making Nationals a can't miss event Modernize logo Encourage sponsorship with uniform changes (knee sleeves and leggings) Embrace change I was originally set back by the premise that USAWA wants to grow.  It has always been a 100ish athlete all volunteer organization with modest budget.  Income consists of membership fees, meet sanctioning fees and donations.  Expenses include drug testing, web hosting and awards.  The organization has stayed in the fringes since 1987 specifically by not getting too big for its britches. Recruiting meet directors is a great idea.  However, assuming athletes want odd lifting, they will need at least one official who would have t...
