On Saturday, May 24, Belize held the 5th National Special Olympic Games at Marion Jones Stadium in Belize City. We served as volunteers and were assigned athletes to accompany to their events throughout the day.It was a hot day, but we barely noticed as we had so much fun with the athletes and cheering on all the competitors in their running races, walking races, long jump, softball throw and relays.
Here are some photos of the day:
Parade of Athletes, Opening Ceremony
Kadeem competing in the Long Jump
Awards for the 75m female walk
Awards for the 100m male walk
Ginnie and Crystal (who took Silver in all three of her events!)
Anthony and Kadeem (he earned awards in all his events!)
Johnny, Nicole, Carrie, Ginnie, & Anthony at the end of a long, fun day!
Circle of Friendship - we had to spread out to nearly the size of the field
Many of the day's volunteers
