Our Team
Our team is built upon the Special Olympics Motto, "Let me win. If I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."
It is a program where both athletes and volunteers work together to grow physically and socially as they practice and compete with their friends! They will leave every day with smiles on their faces. It is truly a rewarding experience!
In 2011 we had 5 athletes attend the State Summer Games at Illinois State University. In 2012, 4 athletes qualified for the state meet and in 2013, 3 athletes qualified for the Summer Games. In 2014 one athlete represented Lake Park. Several athletes have brought home medals for the Lancers!
