Tim Sperling, 19, of Lake Tomahawk, Wis., and his brother Terry, 18, each won 10 fights to take Upper Midwest Golden Glove titles in the 125- and 132-pound classes—27 years after their father broke his wrist in the national semis and couldn't compete in the finals.

Richard Jaramillo, 14, of Bernalillo, N. Mex., who weighs a mere 72 pounds, ran the College of Artesia (N. Mex.) Marathon in 2:57.4, to lead his eighth-grade team to second place in a field including college runners. Richard has also run a 4:50 mile.
