Special Olympics Wisconsin
Team Wisconsin returns from National Games
Team Wisconsin's 62 athletes and 21 coaches returned from the second-ever 2010 Special Olympics U.S. National Games on Saturday, July 24 with 121 medals and 19 ribbons for sports including bowling, aquatics, power lifting, golfing, basketball, tennis, bocce, rhythmic gymnastics, soccer and athletics.
Even though Mother Nature sent 90 degree days with over 100 degree heat indexes, the Opening and Closing ceremonies started and ended the event with a bang. Athletes also enjoyed visiting Olympic Town, the Healthy Athletes Program and even a flag football demonstration throughout the week outside of competition.
