Family of boy killed in Sandy Hook begins program to hold children's triathlons across nation



Chase Kowalski loved to run, bike and swim. Most of all he loved to race.

The summer before he was killed inside Sandy Hook Elementary School with 25 other students and staff, the 7 year old competed in his first triathlon.

Wearing swim shoes and riding his red "Lightning McQueen" bicycle inspired by the speedy character from the movie "Cars," Chase competed in a 20-yard swim, a half-mile ride and a third-of-a-mile run. He finished first in his age group.

Now Chase's family has started a foundation in his memory that will help other children experience the thrill of the race.
