The Sports Illustrated Sportskids of the year are two brothers, Conner and Cayden Long who compete together in triathalons. They don't win because they do things a little differently and have a more difficult road. Cayden has cerebral palsy so Conner pulls his brother in a bike trailer or pushes him in a stroller. These two are the very definition of sportsmen and deserve this award.

SPORTSKID OF THE YEAR 2012 - WINNER
CONNER and CAYDEN LONG are the 2012 SportsKids of the Year
Seven-year-old Cayden is unable to walk or talk on his own, but his nine-year-old brother Conner had an idea that would allow them to participate in sports together. A year and a half ago, they began competing in triathlons together. Conner swims while pulling Cayden in a raft, bikes with his little brother towed behind him in a trailer, and pushes that trailer when they run.
Over the past 18 months, the pair from White House, Tennessee, traveled up and down the East coast to compete in races. Seeing the brothers working together has inspired onlookers, while bringing Conner and Cayden closer than ever. Their amazing determination and spirit is why the Long brothers are the 2012 Sports Illustrated Kids SportsKids of the Year.
