Friendly Rivals Compete to Help the Cause

摘要

To friends Jason Wall and Anton Pratt, everything is a contest, whether it's a game of darts or 18 holes of golf. Now the Arizona middle school teachers are putting their competitive natures to work for the American Diabetes Association's School Walk for Diabetes. Wall, 37, and Pratt, 48, began working together in 2003 as instructors in physical education and health at Western Sky Middle School in Phoenix. "Our rivalry started between our two PE classes," Wall says. "We had an event called the Great Popsicle Relay, which was a 4 x 100 [meter] relay race. The losing class served Popsicles to the winners."
