Special Olympics Wisconsin had their first event since the start of the pandemic on Saturday, hosting 171 participants for a day of track and field events at Mukwonago High School.
All participants were screened for COVID-19 before the event, and the participants were divided into teams who competed on a rotating schedule to limit the number of athletes on the field at a time.
Events consisted of numerous track and field style events, including wheelchair races, 100 meter sprints and hurdles. Jason Blank, Senior Director of Sports for Special Olympics Wisconsin, said that despite the rain, the olympians had a great time.
