The Badger State Winter Games opened registration for the 2009 contests this week, and announced a couple of additions for the 21st year of the competition, sponsored by American Family Insurance. It's not that they're expecting another no-snow Winter, but the organizers have added a trail run to the usual lineup of skiing, skating, curling, hockey and indoor soccer. The idea was to add a race that didn't require specialized equipment, or agonizing wax selection. The date and location for the simple lace-'em-up-and-go event has yet to be determined. Also new for 2009 is a high school incentive challenge. When participants register, they will vote for a high school, whether its their alma mater or a sentimental favorite. (Go Owls). The schools garnering the most votes within three divisions based on enrollment will win cash grants to support their physical education program: $1,000 for first, $500 for second and $250 for third. "We are aware that physical education programs across the state work with limited budgets," said Ron Vincent, chief executive officer of the Wisconsin Sports Development Corporation. "As an organization that fosters healthy and active lifestyles, we saw an opportunity to support those programs and in turn get more people active in the Games." Events in the 2009 Games will be spread out over three weekends, starting with nordic skiing at the Nine Mile Forest outside of Wausau on Jan. 24. Organizers preferred the ...
