Ivan Ziminski, 12, practices throwing, as organizer Chris Graves notes his score, in the Rockies Skills Challenge for youth ages 6-13 hosted by Salida Parks and Recreation May 10 at Marvin Park. Ziminiski said he came out because “I just wanted to give it a shot and get more opportunities.” Throwing was his favorite activity, he said, and the challenge was helpful for learning because it was forgiving, with many chances, he said.Â
