Overview

• The 14-year-old majorette was treated at Riley Hospital for Children for second-degree burns to both palms after bear crawls on the outdoor track during practice.
• Her father says the coach ordered the drill for up to a mile and that his daughter completed about 600 meters, with extra laps assigned because of slipping grades.
• Warren Township Schools confirmed that several students suffered blisters from the track surface and said an active investigation is underway.
• The parents say the coach responded that other teams were doing the drill and later sent a link on how to treat blisters.
• The family retained attorney Dustin Fregiato and put the district on notice as doctors projected months of recovery with possible scarring, and local estimates indicated the track surface may have exceeded 110–140 degrees.
