Great to see so many running clubs support youth development. Who knows where and when the next Sydney McLaughlin, Nico Young or Grant Fisher will pop-up. 👍
I had a somewhat similar experience when I directed the STS 3 years ago. The final event of the evening was the kids relay - a 4x100 relay. I tried to make the teams as even as possible so I mixed up boys and girls. But first I had to put them in separate groups by gender. From there I would separate by age.
I had about 50 kids awaiting my instructions when I called out, "All the boys go over here and all the girls go over there." One little girl, she couldn't have been much older than 2 years old, turned to her mother and said, "Mommy am I a boy or a girl?"
