Sixty-seven people, including more than two dozen figure skaters and their parents and coaches returning from the U.S. Figure Skating championships in Wichita, Kansas, perished in the crash.

ELLINGTON – Camryn Fisher was so locked into pitching Thursday, she lost track of what inning it was in Ellington’s game against Coventry. She needed one more strikeout to reach 1,000 for her career.
