Kids Triathlon
On Sunday, September 26th, Prairie Point students participated in the Kid's Triathlon, coordinated in partnership with the Oswegoland Park District and School District 308 Physical Education teachers. Kids across the district were invited to swim, bike, and run to the finish line. The Kids’ Triathlon course is a 100 meter swim, a 3 mile bike ride, and a half mile run around the track. Everyone receives a long sleeve t-shirt. While awards are given to the fastest in each division, the real winners are all the kids who bolt from the start and head towards the finish.
Great job Prairie Point Panthers!
