Washington Lifters
Rock the World
Washington State was well
represented at the Masters and Open World
Championships this year. Danna Snow, Jill
Arnow and Ken Gack helped the Women's M1
and M2 and Men's M1 teams to victory in St.
Catherines, Canada. Danna placed third in
the 57k M1 women, Jill won the 84+k M2 women,
and Ken placed second in the 105k M1 men with a
perfect 9 for 9 day. In November, Erik and
Kat (Clark) Kasabuske and Jill Arnow travelled
to Plzen, Czech Republic to compete in the IPF
World Championships. Erik placed 9th in a
very deep field in the 93k class; Kat
placed 8th in the 57k class, and Jill placed 5th
in the 84+k class.

Records are now updated
through Columbia City. As usual, let me know if there are
any mistakes.
If you find a mistake in the records, send
mail to
jill @ nwusapl.com. Include in your email:
- your name
- the date and name of the meet
- the record weights (in kilos if that is
what you lifted in)
- a link to the results if they are posted
online
I will try to get them updated as soon as
possible. If you set a record out of state, it
is your
responsibility to inform me
of the records, and where they were set.
We always need more volunteers for meets, as
spotters and loaders, help at the scoring table,
or whatever. Contact the meet director and let
them know you're available |

Results Posted
Results are posted for Columbia City, Alki, the Summer
Classic, State Championships, the Fife meet and
the Pacific Open. Always check the results to
ensure that your age, weight class, lifts,
gear/raw, spelling, etc. are all correct. That
will help ensure the records are input
correctly.

More changes to the records
There are a few changes to the state
records, some for record-keeping purposes, and
some due to changes from the USAPL/IPF.As of
January 2007, the lightest weight classes will
no longer exist for open and master lifters (44
kg class for women, 52 kg class for men).
Teens and juniors can still lift in these weight
classes. Also, since USAPL does not have a
Submaster classification, as of June 2007, we
will no longer use that classification in
Washington State.
In order to make record keeping a little
easier, I have combined most of the record
forms. So now all the records for any age
group are in the same place. Hopefully
this will reduce the number of errors. As
always, if you see problems, please send me an
email. And even more changes....
The USAPL has changed the definition of Raw
Lifting; knee wraps are no longer allowed. As a
result, and as a way to keep the headaches to a
minimum...we have decided to remove all raw
three-lift meet records. Any records for
bench press and deadlift will remain. If
you have any questions, please contact the state
chair, Paula Houston.
Update to above:
We're going to do the record keeping a
little differently (what else is new??) We
will keep the existing raw records however,
after every squat and total that were achieved
during the "wraps allowed" phase, I am appending
"w/wraps" to the person's name. When
someone else lifts in that category, whether or
not their squat and/or total exceeds what is
there, the record will be replaced with the new
record.
One more change....
I will now keep track of disabled lifters
records.
One last thing....
If you set a record at a meet out of state,
it is your responsibility to let both me and the
state chair know. |

Washington State
Powerlifting Hall of Fame
The initial group of eight members was
inducted into the Washington State Powerlifting
Hall of Fame in ceremonies at the State
Championship’s March 10, 2007. The Hall of
Fame has been established to recognize the
achievements of the Washington state residents
who are premier participants in the sport of
powerlifting.
The eight members who were inducted on March 10,
are: Willy Austin, Martin Beavers, Yeuh Chen
Chang, Chris Grekoff, Paula Houston, Gariel
Keeble, Roger Silva and Andrew “Bull” Stewart.
The initial group was selected on the basis of
the following criteria:
1.
A highly
distinguished career in the sport of
powerlifting covering at least ten years as a
drug free competitor at the national and
international level.
2.
A career that
embodied the highest levels of integrity,
sportsmanship and character.
3.
Played a significant
role in helping other lifters participate in the
sport through service as a coach, official or
meet promoter.
Dr.
Larry Maile, National Chairman of USA
Powerlifting, presented Hall of Fame
certificates to each of the inductees.
The
eight members of the Hall of Fame will now
assume all decision making functions for the
Hall of Fame, including selection and induction
of new members, operation of the Hall of Fame,
and selection of the Washington powerlifting
“Athlete of the Year”.
The eight
initial members of the Washington State
Powerlifting Hall of Fame include some of the
greatest American athletes ever to participate
in weight sports. Over the coming months,
biographical information will be prepared and
posted on the USAPL Washington web site
describing the careers of each of these
distinguished individuals. |
