Julia won first place among 4-year-old girls. Joseph was second place among 8-year-old boys and William was second in the 9-year-old boys division. In the competition, kids pedal a tractor as far as they can while a weight mechanism in the back adds more weight the farther the child goes. Depending on the age, a competitor can pull up to 100 pounds. This is William’s second year to qualify for the national competition. [Photo provided]
