By Gabriella Bachara May 9, 2021 | 4:17 PM EDGERTON, Wis.– Wisconsin’s Special Olympics athletes are retuning to in-person events for the first time since the start of COVID-19. Nearly 100 athletes took to the Edgerton High School track Sunday morning for running, walking and throwing competitions. “I’ve been in Special Olympics for 20 years, and I love it so much,” Dean Garfoot, an athlete, said. “It’s great to be back because you get to be around your friends again and enjoy all of the competition.” Athletic Director Nicole Christensen said Sunday’s competition was a modified track meet where teams rotated through stations and completed events in smaller groups and socially distanced.
