We've got an Team ICE score alert from the opening race that just finished up on ICE late in daytime this afternoon. OPENING RACE LINEUPS
1. Heidi Thomas | Degrassi High 2. Keri Nee Adkins | East York Academy 3. Mohammad Patel | Degrassi High
4. Jasmine Sanders | East York Academy 5. Juliana Edwards | Degrassi High
6. Nancy "Jet" Kimmell | East York Academy 7. Jay Blaze | Degrassi High
8. Kay "Supersonic" Shields | East York Academy In the opening race it's an individual competition where there are four matchups and if there's a 2-2 tie the tiebreaker is the relay race later in the night to set the winner of the racing events. If a team wins the opening race 3-1 or 4-0 with no ties then this counts as a separate win from the relay race which still counts as a win by itself.
The advantage of winning the opening race gives you a win that you can makeup for if you lose another event somewhere.
OPENING RACE RESULTS
- Keri Nee Adkins def. Heidi Thomas (East York leads 1-0) (Keri Nee Adkins finishes race in 10.71 seconds)
- Jasmine Sanders def. Mohammad Patel (East York leads 2-0) (Jasmine Sanders finishes race in 10.85 seconds)
- Nancy Kimmell def. Juliana Edwards (East York leads 3-0) (Nancy finishes race in 10.12 seconds)
- Kay Shields def. Jay Blaze (East York wins 4-0) (Kay finishes race in 9.73 seconds)
Team ICE who represents East York defeated Degrassi High 4-0 with Kay Shields running at 9.73 seconds which was short of her personal record of 9.36 seconds that she set back in the fall of 2013.
COMPETITION THOUGHTS
Team ICE dominated this competition with a full sweep but individually ICE has higher standards since these are some world class athletes they'll all tell you that they were a bit rusty today. Kay Shields was the only athlete to finish under 10 seconds but she's usually slightly better than that setting world records. At the rate she's going it's going to be interesting if anybody will catch her. Nancy Kimmell was slightly slower as well but she can still get it done as well. ICE definitely wanted to see if Jasmine Sanders and Keri Nee Adkins will be options in the next few matches especially against the other NITRO teams. Right now Keri was a nice surprise for ICE but Jasmine was disappointing. ICE now has 3 victories on Degrassi head into this evening's contests.

Kay Shields fast as fuck but she'll get back into world breaking territory eventually I don't there's anyone else in NITRO who can outrun Kay toe-to-toe.
I'm interested to see how my relay races go because the last two spots on the opening race team before we face ROD in October aren't set yet but Kay and Nancy will definitely make the team.
Marissa Robertson is supposed to be pretty fast I may run her out there next week.

Not sure if I got anybody who can beat Kay Shields or Nancy Kimmell but maybe I can find somebody who can keep it close with Nancy stealing a win but for damn sure I ain't beating no damn Kay Shields.

Don't worry ROD you don't have anybody who can beat Kay Shields and I don't think you have anybody who can beat Nancy Kimmell either.

I've been very impressed with Kay Shields thus far she's just really fast and this score would beat anybody in NITRO even though it's supposed to be on the low side for them.
