These athletes qualified by getting a gold medal in their track and field events through the regional qualifying tournament held on May 10 at Prospect High School.
Summer Games brought together more than 15,000 participants, including 3,500 athletes, 1,250 coaches, 1,200 volunteers and 10,000 family members for a three-day celebration of inclusion and achievement.
