On Saturday, April 30, our Special Athletics team participated in the Special Olympics Illinois - Region E Spring Games at Thornwood High School. Before the rain came in and canceled the majority of our events, our athletes were able to compete in some of their events.
Our two relay teams kicked us off in the same heat, and we are happy to announce that Warriors 1 (Marissa, Chris, Amber & Brian) took Gold and Warriors 2 (Katherine, Cohen, Jalen & Marnell) took Bronze. DJ and Jaxon both won gold for their 50 M run events, Amber won gold for her softball throw, and Kobe won gold for his 100 M Walk race. Terrell placed 8th for his 50 M run.
Unfortunately, the rest of the athletes didn't get to compete as the remaining events were canceled due to the weather. Their events will have a lottery drawing for their division to determine who will advance to State.
All of the gold winners will advance on to State competition June 17th-19th.
Way to go Warriors!
