Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves...and justice!

Cheerleaders' chant helps identify driver

They didn't have a pen or paper handy.

So, Kimmie Ostrowski and the other members of the Lincoln High School varsity cheerleading squad did what came naturally when a driver fled the scene after causing a chain-reaction car crash Wednesday near the University of Michigan campus: They turned the license plate numbers into a cheer.

And they cheered and cheered and cheered, committing the license plate to memory for police while their coaches rendered aid to a woman injured in the crash at Packard and Thompson streets.

"We just started to chant it so we'd remember it and help them get the guy,'' said Ostrowski, a senior captain, who with junior co-captain Amy Sirois led the nine-member squad's impromptu performance until the Ann Arbor Police arrived.
