These wonderful kids, grades 3 and up where invited to come run races, long jump, softball throw, and high jump. It was absolutely amazing. The weather held out and didn't rain, it was a little chilly when the sun went behind the clouds but it really turned out to be a good day for these kids.
The Athletic Director at Maple Mountain High, Dave Boyack, came up with this track meet and put it all together. Kids from the high school came out to help run, support, and cheer on these special kids.
Can't tell from this picture but he really was happy to be there and be outside.

Go, it is a little hard to tell but he has a smile on his face when his takes off.
Coming around the first corner, it is a tight start!
On the home stretch, looking good Trey!
Trey is excited as he gets closer to the finish line.
Crossing the finish line, lots of winners here today!
You know, as a mom of a special needs child it is so neat when people will go out of there way to do something to include, love, support, involve, etc. our kids with activities and things they normally don't get to do. It means so much to Trey and these kids and I can't tell you how much it means to their parents.
Mr. Boyack didn't have to take the extra time from his own busy life to go out and get sponcers and t-shirts made and organize the whole thing, but he did and I thank him for that.
Trey getting congratulated from his aide and many others, he also received his medal.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
All of the participants.
What a wonderful day.
