Studer finished in14 hours 22 minutes in the 2015 Rocky Raccoon 100 Mile. The closest woman was more than an hour behind her. She won $2,000 — $1,000 for winning the race, and $1,000 for breaking the record.

The Woodrow Wilson High School band performed a concert in February with singer Mikey Dino at the Granada Theater. This is the second year for the band to share the Granada stage with a local artist. All the funds raised at the concert went to the Woodrow Wilson Band Fund for support of private music lessons for kids who cannot afford to pay out of pocket.

The Woodrow Wilson High School Community Foundation recognized two women who put in overtime for the nonprofit. The foundation named Susan Schuerger as board member of the year and Maria Hasbany as volunteer of the year. Schuerger has five children, and she has served since 1991 as a volunteer in the Woodrow feeder pattern. Hasbany has served as the president of the Lakewood Service League, the Lakewood Early Childhood PTA, the Lakewood Elementary PTA and the J.L. Long Middle School PTA. The foundation also presented its executive administrator, Karen Meador, with the President’s Award in December.

Louise Woerner Sellers, a 1930 Woodrow Wilson High School alumna and Dallas businesswoman, has died. She was 102. Sellers, who was known for her style and poise as a hostess, bought the Flag Store in East Dallas in 1960, and her family operated it until 2011.
