TISC Skaters Rock Detroit & Race In Trexlertown

May 26, 2008

TISC skaters were busy this weekend competing in two races in the USA on Saturday.

A group of TISC skaters traveled to Detroit to race in the Wolverine Inline Marathon. The race took place on beautiful Bele Isle. TISC skaters earned a number of age category medals. Sarah Hopkins put up a very strong results placing 2nd by just a few inches to USA’s Jillieanne Rookard, a World Championships medalist and USA Long Track Speed Skating team member.

On the men’s side, placing in the top-5 overall was Morgan Williams who came in 4th. TISC’s Dean Arndt almost earned an overall podium finish as he was poised to take the pack sprint. However, a wrong turn in the last few meters of the race dashed his chances at a top-3 finish.

Candy Wong shared her pictures. You can also view more pictures here.
