Rome teacher and mom of two Tory Ferlo made a strong bodybuilding debut April 18 at the OCB Big East Natural in Syracuse, placing in all four Bikini Division categories.

Turning 40 helped motivate her to push herself, and she plans to compete again June 20 in Rochester with a long-term goal of earning a Master’s pro card.
