FULL POWER: East Syracuse-Minoa sophomore Glen Maldonado, who established three state records during the March 19 New York State Powerlifting Championships. East Syracuse Minoa sophomore Glen Maldonado set three New York State age group and weight class records in the 2011 New York State Powerlifting Championships March 19. Maldonado benched 225 pounds, squatted 270 pounds and dead-lifted 430 pounds, all state records in the 148-pound weight class, for a combined total of 925 pounds. He is coached by Mike Eschbacher, a history teacher and coach at ESM. Maldonado plays football and wrestles, but he excels in the weight room. The NYS meet was hosted in Fayetteville by the 100 percent RAW Powerlifting Federation. Maldo-
