While some of us may have backed off a little, Spartans Claudia Wiersch and Susan O'Lone have been busy doing things like triathalons. Most recently, their galant athletic performances earned them recognition as Redneck Olypians.
Ledyard Fair's inaugural Redneck Olympics.
"Claudia Wiersch of Waterford and Susan O'Lone of East Lyme were supposed to go kayaking Sunday. Instead, Wiersch's mother Joan Weigle talked them into watching her partake in four of the five events — no belly flopping for Weigle.
At the end of the day Wiersch took top honors in the women's division of the toilet bowl ring toss and O'Lone earned an honorable mention in the hay bale toss. Both work as scientists at Pfizer.
“I kept a cool head and willed it on there,” Wiersch said, laughing of her winning ringer around a plunger imbedded in the dirt.
