The Northeast Area Special Olympics were held Saturday, April 19, 2008, at Truman State University in Kirkskville, Missouri.
Putnam County was represented by four students who each brought home three medals. Each student received at least one gold medal. These students participated in the 25 m dash, 100 m dash, or 200 m run; tennis ball throw, softball throw, or shot put; and standing long jump or running long jump.
All students did an amazing job and should be very proud of their accomplishments!
Putnam County students who competed are pictured above and include Robert, Mary, Conner, and Dylan. Coaches for the Putnam County Special Olympic included Mrs. Knight, Mrs. Salisbury (not pictured), and Mrs. Altiser. Congratulations Athletes—We are so proud of you!!!
