Deming Youth Dominate Duck Race A 10 and 14 year old from Deming were the big winners at this year's Great American Duck Race. The winner on the Wet Track was 10 year old Robert Rogers, who is a 5th grade student at Deming's Baatan Elementary School. Rogers said he raced only Sunday this year, but did race without success in 2010, so he "decided to give it a try". He said his secret is to "talk" to the duck. He plans to use the $1480 payout for, among other things, video games. He will be back in 2012. The winner on the Dry Track was 14 year old Juan Prieto, who is a 9th grader at Deming High School. He said he could sense that the duck was saying "I'm moving".
He plans to use his $1480 for, among other things, clothes and shoes. He said this is his second year racing, and will be back again in 2012.

Second place, and a $100 check went to Solitaire Homes, and Third place and $50 to Surface Tile and Carpet. In the Outhouse Race, Men's Division, Gabe's Fitness Center was the winner, and in both the Women's Division and Coed Division, the winner was the Deming Dust Devils Team.
