Each year it is exciting to see neighborhoods and families put together their own teams and finish the season with a trophy. You do not need to be on a team to participate. Events include 50-3200m races, softball throw, shot put, running long jump and the high jump. Ribbons are awarded for the top 6 competitors in each division in each event. Also, team trophies are awarded at the end of the season to the top scoring teams.
For more information, call Pierce County Parks at (253)798-4177 or Ron Mattila, Meet Director at (253)845-8745.
