It wasn’t easy, but Dianne Sullivan was determined to keep her promise to her son. So last week, in a steamy school gymnasium in Scituate, the Woodbury, Minn., resident didn’t whoop it up, scream, or shed a tear when Thomas, 12, rode a two-wheeled bicycle independently for the first time. She held it in, just as he’d asked her to.

SportsKid of the Year 2012 - Winner | Sports Illustrated Kids - 0 views

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.
