Goodyear Announces Winners of Blimp Shot Contest

(Akron/Tire Review) Stacey Freyer, a sophomore at Ohio State University and Jennifer Hanson, a senior at Georgetown University, won the Goodyear “Get There” blimp shot contest by each hitting a 100-foot hoop target from 500 feet in the air aboard the Goodyear blimp.

Freyer and Hanson both won travel accommodations and tickets for two to attend one of the sporting events where the Goodyear blimp will provide aerial coverage over the next 12 months. In addition, video of Freyer’s and Hanson’s winning shots and the balls they used will be sent to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.

Four contestants, representing each school in the Men’s Division I college basketball semifinals, participated in the contest. Chris Smith from UCLA and Alex Perez from the University of Florida joined Freyer and Hanson in the contest.
