They have 50 yard dash. (As you can see, Braden likes to socialize while racing...)
The 100 yard dash.
The 50 yard hurdles (yes, those are the hurdles and up until last week Conner made me run every race with him. Last week he did it all on his own though!)
The Long Jump.
The High Jump. (This is about as "high" as we get here).
The softball throw (This is Braden's best event. He has a great arm and is just a few feet from the age 4 and under record for distance at 40 feet.) 
And the shot put (honestly just another ball, but they have the kids push it up like a shot put).
Conner is a pretty fast runner for a two year old so he does very well in the races. Braden doesn't race as fast, mostly because he is constantly trying to get the attention of the runners next to him and watch what everyone else is doing, but he loves the throwing events and can throw quite far. This makes his Papa (Grandpa Acuff) very happy as he is hoping for a baseball star in a few years. We have three more meets left this summer. The kids love it. Each night before bed Conner asks when he gets to race again.
