Ron Waddell, a YMCA of the Northwoods member, won a gold medal at the Wisconsin Senior Olympics competition in Milwaukee Aug. 29. Waddell bench-pressed 210 pounds to win his age group (70-74).

According to a YMCA press release, Waddell got involved in the event when he received a letter from AARP a month prior to the event. He looked at the prior year's winners and determined that he could be competitive if he attended. Waddell trained for a month for the competition. He plans to compete again next year and will begin training in May.
