Students make basketball shot from blimp

April 2, 2007

Two college students put basketballs through a hoop from 500 feet up in the Goodyear blimp last week.

Stacey Freyer, a sophomore at Ohio State University, and Jennifer Hanson, a senior at Georgetown University, each put a ball through a 100-foot-wide hoop to win Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.'s "Get There" blimp shot contest.

The contest was held to promote Goodyear's new "Get There" campaign, which features the blimp in TV and print ads.
