CONWAY — Despite a nasty fall, 84-year-old North Conway powerlifter Ted Sares recovered to win a first place trophy in the “September to Remember” meet in Boston on Sept. 25.

Sares breezed through the strict curls (his signature lift), but did only fair in the benchpress and deadlift. All-in-all, he made five of seven attempts. According to Sares, this event “featured super strong older lifters and despite a relatively small turnout, it was daunting and loads of fun.”
