ALBANY, N.Y. (WNYT)- In September, we brought you a story about three powerlifters from the Capital Region <\/a>in their 70s and 80s heading to Houston for the powerlifting World Championship. Now, they\u2019ve competed and did better than they ever predicted.<\/p>\n

84-year-old Tami Allen took first place, breaking three world records in her age and weight class.<\/p>\n

72-year-old Joyce Eggleston finished second place, just one pound behind first place.<\/p>\n

77-year-old Jim Davis was brought into the lifting scene by his son Adam, who died of a rare cancer at 30 years old. Jim competed on Adam\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all three of the competitors for representing the Capital Region so well.<\/p>\n
