Sunny Morning For A Sprint Hailey Elementary School student Stella Barsotti, left, has her sights firmly focused on the finish line at Carey High School’s Derrick Parke Memorial Field track Saturday morning. During the annual Hershey/Blaine County track and field meet on a sunny and crisp morning, Barsotti was thrilled to qualify for July’s state meet in Rexburg by winning the Girls’ 9-10 200-meter dash and finishing second in the 100m dash for her age class.
