Son's legacy to continue with Butler professor's special needs sports camps
The annual football clinic at Butler University for participants with special needs was different this year for Anne Wilson. It was the first time since the Butler chemistry professor founded the program in 2013 that her son, Miles Cruz, wasn't there. Cruz, who used a wheelchair, was nonverbal and lived with cerebral palsy, died on Feb. 25 from complications from the flu and pneumonia. He was 23. Wilson didn't know what emotions were going to hit when she attended the clinic in April. 'In many ways it's bittersweet,' said Wilson. She knew it was going to be hard, but she also saw it as a way to honor Cruz, his legacy and the family's legacy, too. At the clinic, Butler Coach Joe Cheshire brought the participants and families together on the field to start the day. He introduced Wilson and spoke kindly of Cruz. He presented her with a jersey with Cruz's name that was signed by the football team. And he dedicated this year's clinic to playing for Cruz. It may have been subtle to others, but Cruz's smile was big to those who knew him. It would break out when he saw Hinkle Fieldhouse because he loved going to basketball games. And he would laugh his 'heh-heh-heh' chuckle when he would play pranks on his younger brother, Malcolm. 'He's a goofball,' said Wilson when describing him in 2024. He's 'nonverbal but expressive,' she said. When Malcolm, an upcoming senior at North Central High School, was 4, Wilson took him to the Little Dribblers basketball camp at Butler. While Malcolm ran speedily around, another mom spoke with Wilson, asking if she had other children. Wilson said she and her husband, Wil Cruz, also had an older son, but he wasn't in the basketball camps because he had special needs and used a wheelchair. She mused that it would be great if instead of 100 kids like in this camp, they could have 25 kids with varying levels of special needs gather for an all-abilities clinic. Wilson didn't know she was speaking with Tracy Stevens, wife of then Butler basketball coach, Brad Stevens. He now is the general manager of the Boston Celtics. Brad Stevens 'was like, 'Oh, yeah, we can do that,' ' says Wilson. 'So that's how it got started.' He offered to run the clinic if Wilson would get the participants. They were off. In 2013, the special needs basketball camp began. Men's basketball players volunteered their time alongside Stevens and the special athletes. A call to the Indiana University physical therapy department brought more volunteers. Since that first basketball clinic, Wilson and various Butler sports staff have created football, dance and cheer, baseball and Wiffle ball clinics for special needs athletes. The participants get to have fun and compete; the Butler athletes fulfil their NCAA service requirements. Physical therapy students get hands-on experience. Everyone learns about people with differing abilities. And Cruz, who was social and joyful, got to play sports like his athletic younger brother. 'I have all these parents who now think I'm some sort of superhero status, and that's not it at all,' says Wilson. 'I just asked people, and they said yes. And I'm going to keep asking people to do things until somebody tells me no!' she adds. Wilson and her family will carry on with Miles no longer at their side, but always in their heart. The legacy of bringing sporting opportunities to those with challenges is now the family legacy. Wilson says that working for inclusion is more important now than ever.

(AP Photo/Doug McSchooler) NEW YORK (AP) — The WNBA finishes off the first half of its season this week before heading into the All-Star break in Indiana, which will be a showcase for young star Caitlin Clark. The Fever have three all-stars with Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell all playing in the game Saturday. Clark, who is one of the captains, took both her Indiana teammates for her team in the game. Advertisement Before Saturday's contest, the Fever have a busy week with back-to-back games, first in Boston against Connecticut and then in New York on Wednesday. Indiana is trying to get some momentum heading into the break as they are just over .500 heading into Tuesday night's game. Minnesota, led by the other All-Star captain, Napheesa Collier, has the best record in the league at 19-4. The Lynx played four games in six days over a stretch they went 2-2. They have one more game against second-place Phoenix on Wednesday before heading into the break. Sidelined Atlanta's Rhyne Howard will be sidelined for the rest of the month with a left knee injury she picked up against Indiana. Howard earned her third All-Star nod earlier this month and was drafted by Team Collier. Commissioner Cathy Engelbert will name a replacement for her. Advertisement Howard is expected to make a full recovery and a timeline for her return will be provided at a later date, the Dream said. Strong ratings ABC had its most watched WNBA game ever on Saturday when Paige Bueckers and Dallas faced Clark and Indiana. The Fever won in a blowout in the first pro matchup between the two star guards. The game averaged 2.1 million viewers. Record breaker Naz Hillmon played in her 128th straight game, setting an Atlanta franchise record by passing Iziane Castro Marques' mark of 127. Natisha Heidman of Minnesota has the longest active streak with 199 consecutive games played. Dawn Staley holds the league record with 263. Advertisement Power poll rankings Phoenix moved up to the No. 1 spot, passing Minnesota after beating the Lynx last week. The Mercury haven't been in the top spot since 2018. The Lynx were second and New York was third. Atlanta, Indiana and Seattle followed the Liberty. Washington moved up two spots to seventh with Golden State and Las Vegas next. Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas and Connecticut rounded out the poll. Player of the week Alyssa Thomas of Phoenix averaged 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds to help the Mercury win both their games last week. Other players receiving votes were Shakira Austin of Washington and Angel Reese of Chicago. Advertisement Game of the week Team Clark vs. Team Collier, Saturday. The league's All-Star Game will take place Saturday in Indianapolis and Clark will surely want to put on a show for her hometown fans. ___ AP WNBA:
