I see medals for different sports so the kid does a lot of participating, and from the number of gold a silver, I would say he does it well. Good for him not sitting on his ass playing video games.

They look like mainly participation medals. I don’t see anyone that good at some many pursuits.

I’ve gotten a few for completing some 150-200 mile bike rides.

It was a charity tour, not a race. As I recall, some were gold. I’ve been in the first ten to the finish and the last six, out of several hundred.

For the record, the last six was by adding a 25 mile loop to get 100 miles. Very few riders did it that year because the first day had pretty brutal weather. that automatically put us a couple hours behind the pack.

But, that said, good for the league. Penalizing a kid because his dad couldn’t find or afford black pants is kind of dumb.
