And here is the winner - 4-year-old Huckleberry. Huckleberry competed for the title in 2010, only to walk away empty-pawed. That changed this year, dressed in a beige suit as the main character from the movie "Forrest Gump."
The contest is now in its 34th year and is held ahead of the annual Drake Relays track and field meet. The university's mascot is a bulldog, and each year's winner becomes the mascot for the relays event.
