Ten-year old Ella Bardertscher was the clear winner in the children's' fun run before the 7th annual Run For the Roses 5K race at Ohio Northern University's Kerscher Stadium on Sunday, May 3.
It was a fitting tribute to her cousin, Angela Bardertscher, in whose memory the race is held. Angie, a graduate of Ada High School and ONU, died of cystic fibrosis in 2008 at the age of 27. Her sister, Kim, has CF, too, and had a double lung transplant in 2011. The race is also in her honor.
