Hilton student athlete competes and wins fitness challenge; goal - "to make fitness fun"

Hilton High School student athlete Krista Sealy accepted a fitness challenge which took place at the Metro YMCA in Rochester and earned a $1,000 donation from the Y to help the Hilton School District "engage more students in physical activities and change their attitudes and habits about fitness and to encourage individuals to engage in a minimum of 30 minutes of physical activity each day." 

Krista, who is a Hilton HS distance runner, participated in the "Beat the Old Man Challenge" against master athlete Steve Abramson, 58, President of Pace Windows and Doors of Rochester.  She beat or exceeded Mr. Abramson in two of four challenges: jogging three miles, racquetball, one-on-one full-court basketball, and a 60-pitch softball contest.

Krista's parents, Eric and Holly Sealy, and grandparents attended the award presentation at Hilton High School May 5 with Hilton CSD Athletic Director Michael Giruzzi and Associate Director of the YMCA of Greater Rochester Jay Polston.  For more: "Pace Go 4 Fitness Challenge."
