Ice sisters help pave way in local Hershey T&F Games
There was a little fire and Ice during the Hershey Track and Field Games, which were held at Wooster High School June 14.
The Hershey Games have been an annual event in Ohio for 34 years and the State meet will take place in Columbus on July 9. The winners from the competition in Wooster will advance to the State competition, which will be held at Olentangy Orange High School.
The Ice sisters, who are members of the Wayne County Track Club, will help lead the local contingent to Columbus. Sara Ice won a pair of events in the 9-10 age group, taking top honors in the softball throw with a toss of 101 feet and the 200-meter dash (37.2). Older sister Sami won three events in the 11-12 age group, winning the softball throw (125-0), the 400 (1:10.0) and the 200 (30.6) to punch her ticket to State.
In the 9-10 age group, Zoe Dellaserra won a run-off with Sara Ice to take the 50 for one of her three wins. She also added top performances in the 100 (16.3) and the standing long jump (5-6).
