The 22nd Annual “Plane Pull Challenge” was held at Indianapolis International Airport and featured approximately 70 teams attempting to pull an 82-ton FedEx jetliner down a marked track.
Shelbyville sent 15 Champions Together representatives, including Shelbyville High School athletes, and moved the jet from a dead stop to the finish line in 8.06 seconds to win its division.
Shelbyville’s Champions Together program raised $1,350 toward the event’s overall fundraising of $165,000 that will go to Indiana Special Olympics.
Shelbyville Central Schools Superintendent Dr. Matt Vance presented the Champions Together representatives with certificates Tuesday during the meeting.
The group also was recognized for a runner-up finish in the recent state Bocce Ball tournament.
In other board business Tuesday:
D.L. Sanders, organizer of the recent downtown Shelbyville Cornstock event, presented the school board with a check for $1,500 to go to the school system’s lunch program. Sanders informed the school board he planned to donate 20% of the proceeds from the day-long music festival but the event went so well, he upped the amount to nearly 30% of the proceeds.Get the most recent Shelby County Post headlines delivered to your email.
