The kids competed in several events to include 50m dash, football toss, and tug of war. The police department's aim is to teach youth the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, and civic duty. 

"All our participants are winners, but I ask you to join me in congratulating the athletes from Little Carver on their first place victory. We look forward to next  year's Olympics and a safe holiday season," said Commander Manuel Morales.
