"The others were 17‐year-old Frank Capsouras of River Edge, N. J., and Jim Dorn of Earlington, Pa. Each lifted 859 1/2 pounds, but Capsouras earned second place because he carried less body weight—180 pounds to 181 3/4."

J., Capsouras was known more for his wrestling than his weight lifting. In his senior year, he placed third in the Jersey wrestling championships, and received several scholarship offers."
