On Thursday, May 9th, our Unified Track Lakers traveled to Durfee High School for the Unified Track South Coast Sectionals Meet. The performance of so many of our athletes and partners was incredible, with many students placing first overall in their tiers. Several athletes and their partners beat their longest throws of the season in javelin and shot put. The 4x100 team won first overall amongst the division two schools, beating their fastest time by two seconds. The Lakers were, as always, models of inclusion, teamwork and great sportsmanship cheering on their opponents as much as they cheered on each other. Friday, May 17th, they will travel to the Special Olympics event. Stay tuned for pictures!
