For the first time in eight years Abington Senior High School hosted a Special Olympic Track & Field Team. Fourteen students along with several general education peer mentors attended year-long mandatory practices, increased times and distances, and learned the value of hard work.
On Monday, May 23, 2016, these athletes competed at the first Lower Montgomery County Special Olympics Track and Field event held at Hatboro-Horsham High School. The athletes earned an overall 11-1st place, 11-2nd place, 9-3rd place, and 4-4th place.
Each student participated with enthusiasm, effort, and a high level of sportsmanship.
Go Ghosts!
