LETTER: Special Olympics worth the time

To the editor:

I was recently at the Special Olympic Track Meet this past Saturday, April 21. What an opportunity for students to be involved in! I was so impressed that the director of Athletics, Randy Spetman, was there to cheer on the athletes and give remarks that were highly motivating. Not only Randy Spetman needs a thank you, but to the ones who organized this event and to all the volunteers who made this possible.

I was deeply honored and highly privileged to serve as a timer for the event. No words can express the experience I had when I got to give these special athletes a grand high-five for finishing. Special Olympics has become a tradition at USU and it will be a fond memory for the rest of my life.

Thanks to those coaches, organizers, athletes, and volunteers for keeping this tradition alive.
