Photos - January 31, 2010 YTAC Olympics
As a part of fundraising and awareness initiatives for Young Texans Against Cancer (YTAC), the first annual YTAC Olympics were held on January 31 at Spotts Park in Houston. Over 20 teams of 10 competed in adult field day events including tug-o-war, relay race, tricycle race, obstacle course and hot shot. It was a cold day, but that didn't phase our team! Even though we didn't walk away with an award (other than knowing we were the hottest team on the field), we're pretty sure we were the real winners of the tug-o-war and the spirit award!
