Every Tuesday afternoon in June and July the Bemidji Parks and Rec. sponsors a track meet for kids of all ages. They run the 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, mile and long jump. The kids are split up by age group and gender. Sadie was in the 4 and under group. She usually got first or second place ribbons because her competition was often kids 1 or 2 years younger. She did manage to run the half mile once but she was not interested in running the mile. Eli on the other hand got lots of "great job" ribbons because there were always lots and lots of boys in the 5-6 year old age group. He seemed to do better on the longer distances, but didn't run more than the 400.
