Thanks to everyone who joined us for today's 17th Annual Small Fry Tri at W.J. Freeman Park! All of our competitors did a great job traversing the track and switching from running to biking/scootering to "swimming."

We'll be posting all of our participants (who have given permission for social media posts) with their medals on our website.

Congrats to all, and we'll see you next year for another fantastic Small Fry Tri!
