THE 2022 TRIPLE CROWN WINNERS HAVE BEEN CROWNED

AND THE WINNERS ARE...

Team Yellow Yahoos!
June 12, 2022

With lightning speed in the Run for the Roses, solid style and flair in the paddock walk, excellent communication in the run for the Black Eyed Susans, and a photo finish in the Run for the Carnations, the Yellow Yahoos proved to be the class of the field of Teams who competed in this year's LifeStriders Triple Crown Cup.

They were followed by a strong showing from the 2nd place Founders Four who aced the communication nuances of the Run for the Black Eyed Susans, but missed winning the Run for the Carnations by a horse hair, despite exquisite coordination in the 5 legged race.

The Cam Fam team finished a very respectable 3rd place but suffered from a few wardrobe malfunctions along the way. If there was a prize for best team leader though, we would have to give that honor to their team boss Cameron who made a big impression on the Triple Crown this year with his style and class.

The Frolicking Flamingoes and the Western Stars have some practicing to do in the offseason, but seemed like they might have won the award for most fun had during the races.

It was a brilliant day of racing on the LifeStriders Campus this year and we look forward to seeing all the teams back on the track in 2023 for another chance to win the coveted LifeStriders Triple Crown Cup.

Thank you to all the Teams below for Competing in this year's Triple Crown and for helping to raise money to support all of the low and no cost programs at LifeStriders, to help families who are working with special needs.
