On Saturday, March 19, faculty and students along with alumni, community members, and swim fans gathered at the Sports and Recreation Center to cheer on our local Special Olympians at the Special Olympics Area 13 Aquatics Meet. Over 100 Lake Forest College students from a variety of organizations on campus volunteered at the event which is held annually.
Participants in the meet reported to the ready room preceding their event and were then escorted by current students to the starting blocks to enhance the competitiveness of the race. It was an exciting swim meet for both the participants as well as for supporters!
Lake Forest College Athletic Department thanks everyone who played a role in making this meet a success and looks forward to making another Special Olympic splash next year.
