Happy New Year from S.N.A.P. Inc and the Super Naturals!
Special Olympic Track and Field
Super Naturals Track season is here!
Super Naturals Track and Field team members!
Are you ready for track?!! I had a Zoom meeting with Area 3 Special Olympics people last night and they are setting up the track season. Things will be changing, but we can still have a lot of fun training! Here are the ways it will be set up:
Team event only, no individual winners.
Each athlete may compete in 2 events only. There will be no throwing events(Tennis ball, Softball, or shot put). So no Pentathlon.
Points will be awarded as follows; 10 pts for 1st, 8 pts for 2nd, 6 pts for 3rd, 5 pts for 4th, 3 pts for 6th, 2 pts for 7th, 1 pt for 8th. So if our runners finished 1st(10 pts), 3rd(6 pts) and 4th(5 pts) our team will get 21 pts for that event!
Each team will have an assigned time slot to compete in. We will stage as a team. Our team will compete in their entered events. Once everyone has been timed in their events we will leave. After all teams have completed their events, all times have been entered, and each athlete is placed in their division, the placing and points can be decided. Each teams points will be added up and Donna Kilmer will meet us to bring our team their earned medals! Ours will be GOLD if you work hard enough!
The Summer Games will be set up the same way. It will be in Searcy, but they will not be having an opening ceremony and no staying in dorms.
No firm dates have been set yet for either Area or Summer Games. Looking at May 7 for Area.
I will let you know more information as they confirm it.
Track practice will be at Pea Ridge Track
Our track practices will be the same as we have done in the past. Practice will be from 5:45-7:15 or so.

The Super Naturals had a great time at the Special Olympics Summer Games! The weather was HOT and HUMID! Our Athletes performed very well! Friday was a long day of events. They could hardly wait for our dinner at Chili's, I think that got them through the day. They finished the day off with a dance in the park! Thank you all for supporting our program!
