It is with a heavy heart that the WABDL announces the passing of one of its’ own. Virginia Cornelius, James Greene’s mother passed away recently. She has competed in the Missoula, Montana meet and set state and world records. Her state records still stand. She has been James’ biggest fan ever since his first meet thirty some years ago. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last April and has been valiantly battling ever since.

“So, tonight was tribute night. After my mother Virginia Cornelius passed away, I felt I needed to do her former WABDL world records and still Montana state records for reps, times her age. This meant benching 90 lbs for 77 reps and deadlifting 165 lbs for 77 reps. I accomplished my goal. I love and miss you mom!”

Condolences from WABDL Nation.
