Six student-athletes took part in a rewarding experience as
volunteers in the Brownsville Independent School District Special
Olympics Local Games Saturday at Sams Memorial Stadium.
Baseball players Peter Maldonado and Juan Munoz, men's soccer
players Steve Howard and Chris Scott, and women's soccer players
Carling Rootes and Theresa Berman were involved in important activities
in the awards area for the Special Olympians upon finishing their races
in preparation for their awards.
More than 400 BISD students participated in the meet. There were more than 100 volunteers.
Upon the completion of more than 60 events, the student-athletes
received the award recipients. They organized them for the gold, silver
and bronze medals for the top three finishers, and ribbons for those
who finished in fourth, fifth and sixth places.
