Mascot Race in Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa will have an annual all city track meet today, including a race for mascots. Looks as if it will be a fair fight this year, after questions arose last year in footwear for one of the mascot competitors. According to the Press Democrat on Tuesday, Santa Rosa coach Doug Courtemarche stated that for this year’s competition, “They must run in full paws.”
Last year, a panther and cardinal mascot protested the Coyote wearing spiked shoes. Who would think that a panther and a cardinal would ever team up on the same side! Link to Press Democrat
