Eighty-one-year-old Sister Margaret Buchta crushed it at the Nebraska Senior Games, winning first place in her age bracket for the one-mile power walk—while juggling her duties as a paraprofessional at Marian High School and training by conquering hills. Her brother, Deacon Bill, joked she “flies when she walks,” and even former students recognized her stride. The Buchta family’s love affair with the games runs deep—with four siblings competing last year and Bill now taking on shot put, javelin, discus, and even cornhole for the first time. Meanwhile, 80-year-old powerlifter Thomas Bisbee, the oldest in his event, competed alongside his daughter Susan Casey, a testament to how sports bind generations. Across 600+ athletes from 21 states, the message was clear: age is just a number, and staying active, competitive, and joyful? That’s timeless.
