BOWIE, Texas (TNN) - Athletes are not able to compete as much this year, but today in Bowie close to 60 athletes gathered to compete in Scottish traditional events.
In kilts, athletes of varied strength and agility outdo each other at a Highland Games competition called the Red River Throwdown.
Youth joined the action as well as world record holders.
“Over the last five years, it’s been a great ride of world records titles and being examples for youth but also women too. The women’s class because anyone can do it,” said Elissa Hapner, 2016 World Champion.
