Athletes Score Big at State Tournament

More than 1,000 Special Olympics athletes struck down bowling pins and spiked volleyballs during the 2009 Special Olympics Wisconsin Fall Sports Tournament on Saturday, December 5, 2009 at the Center Area Sports Complex, AMF Bowlero Lanes, and AMF Waukesha Lanes. Congratulations to all the athletes who competed and thank you to the hundreds of volunteers and fans who cheered the athletes onto their success!

 

Milwaukee has hosted this State Competition for the past 29 years! Fall Sports Tournament is just one of five state athletic competitions, which serves 18 different sports, occurring throughout the year for the 10,000 athletes in Wisconsin. Athletes qualified for the Fall Sports Tournament state games based on their performance at the local, regional or district tournaments.

 

The tournament took place just a day after nearly 100 current and prospective athletes attended MedFest which is part of the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes® Screening Program. Volunteer physicians, nurse practitioners, residents, and other healthcare volunteers gave free health care screenings at the Tommy Thompson Youth Center in Milwaukee.
