Trojan Youth Wrestlers and Hershey Middle and High School wrestlers, families and coaches, donated their time and materials to support The Children's Miracle Network Balloon Chasers 5K race held on Sunday, June 5th. Wrestlers were stationed at mile markers to announce splits to the runners as well as man a water station to provide much needed refreshment to runners and walkers participating in the event.

A special thank you to Christine Christ for organizing the event and inviting TYW to help support this great cause.

Coach Chris Yengo participated in the 5K race and not only won his division with a time just over 18 minutes, but also took the top spot for the Masters Division. Watching Chris's wife Amy and his son Jack beem with pride as he passed the water stand, listening to the wrestling families cheer him on loudly, made the day even more special. Christine Christ, a wrestling mom and the MC at the awards stand, adorned with her Hershey Wrestling sweatshirt, announced to everyone that Chris was a Hershey wrestling coach. It was a great moment!

The TYW staff would like to thank our families and wrestlers for coming out and supporting such an outstanding charity and showing the community that Hershey wrestling, at all levels, supports them and places the needs of others before themselves.
