It was a beautiful Sunday morning and the city’s youth were out in force to compete in the annual All Ages Track Meet at Bertram Field. While the kids were the stars, adults got into the action, too, including our very own Tim Short and Jason Barnes who dueled to the finish in a one mile run. And talk about Wicked support! Doug Bollen, Beth O’Grady, Eileen Dunn, Karen Giroux, Chip Bott, Shannon Bott, Tricia Pini, Jim Lacey, Jason Barnes and Maria Ramirez were all there either to help out or watch their children compete. Yes, there were lots of “Wicked Children” there. Below are a few “family” pictures from the event. Check out Chip’s photos soon to be uploaded to Salem.com.

These types of “feel good” stories almost make me want to having little “Wicked” running children of my own!
And, “Wicked Children” grow up to be “Wicked Adults.” Think about that, Kerry.
Congrats to Doug Bollen for running this event!! It was a lot of fun to go (and see my kids, dare I say it…Compete?) Great job Doug!!
