The State Games in Oregon and Montana were great successes with many new competitors to
the sport. The dedication of the wrestlers to travel to these tournaments made the
tournaments very exciting and the sponsors of the events were pleased with the
professionalism of the commissioners and referees. All the athletes were impressed with
the medals they won and the T-shirt they received just for entering. The USWA/USAA has
State Games scheduled in more than a dozen states for the year 2000 and it is a great step
forward for the recognition of
ArmSports in the Olympics. With the help of USWA/USAA representatives in each of the
states these events will be great exposure for the sport and the winners in each division
will be awarded custom Olympic style medals 1st to 3rd place. If you would like to know
when and where the state games are scheduled in your state you can give Leonard Harkless
or Denise Wattles a call at (406) 245-1560 or (406) 248-4508.
