Armwrestling USA
March 11, 2025
AUSA evolved from the World Professional Armwrestling Association. Over the past 50
years we have held more than 1000 events in amusement parks, shopping malls and
state and county fairs. WPAA/AUSA competitions have incorporated all 50 U.S states,
Canada and Europe. AUSA has been reconstructed to amateur competitions. As we
enter our 50 th year of “Grand Prix Events” our sport continues to have wonderful support
and enthusiasm. We are pleased to present the 2024 National Rankings. Our cheers to
the men, women and their families who participated in AUSA Events during our 2024
season. This is the 11th year of our new ranking system that integrates weighting of all
regional events, and sanctioned events with partnered Associations. Everyone who
won selected matches is listed in their respective division.
Special thanks to the AUSA Family of participating fairs: Calaveras County Fair, Medina
County Fair, Kansas State Fair, Oklahoma State Fair and the Arizona State Fair. Their
management and staff have made our events an annual tradition and showcased
competitions in colorful and exciting venues.
The battle for AUSA # 1 Rankings featured a new list. Featherweight; James
Gillenwater - Kansas – Lightweight: – Joseph Meranto – Arizona – Middleweight: Cole
Sailor- Oklahoma.- Light-Heavyweight – Tim Lewis – Pennsylvania -Women’s
Lightweight – Addison Skaggs – Oklahoma -Women’s Open – Hailee Beadles –

divisions. Congratulations to our champions and everyone who earned a ranking.
The Great Oklahoma Rivalry saw Oklahoma State prevail over Oklahoma 14 -9 in a rain
shortened final. “Grass roots America” was represented in our exciting events where the
fairgoers become the participants.
As we enter 2025 there are many fairs that have expressed interest in our Events.
Sanctioning additional organizations are having a renewed interest.
