A few Weibergs, a couple Teegins and a group of Hancocks. Nearly every family of the 10 lost in that Jan. 21, 2001, plane crash was represented in some way.
“When they started this run, I think it's something that has reopened a lot of the eyes of people and they come here to acknowledge those families,” former OSU basketball coach Eddie Sutton said. “I know it's very important to the families. Anybody that knew any of those 10 certainly knew that they were just quality people.”
But in the Stillwater community, that number is no longer 10. Following the Nov. 17 plane crash that killed women's basketball coach Kurt Budke, his assistant Miranda Serna and Olin and Paula Branstetter, that number has grown to 14.
Although the name of the run wasn't altered (and likely won't be), there was a feeling of connection between the two tragedies on Saturday.
The entire OSU women's basketball team participated in the Fun Run.
