Heart of Texas Special Olympics hosts annual Track and Field competition
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) – The Heart of Texas Special Olympics Track and Field competition took place at Rice Field on Friday!
Students from across many school districts competed in this regional competition which takes place across Texas every April.
Justin Kimbro, a sixth grade student from Tennyson Middle School, was one of many athletes competing this year. He says he was excited to put his training to good use in the competition – and here's what he looked forward to the most.
'Winning. But I'm trying to look to be brave, and that's it,' Kimbro said.
Kimbro also says that it felt great to socialize with not only his teammates, but with athletes from other districts.
Many athletes from the Waco Independent School District team have been competing in the Track and Field competition for about two years now – many say the event gets better each year.
Students will be advancing to the state competition in May.
