Special Olympics athletes team up with college students in this incredible, inclusive program called Unified Sports!
"This is where my heart is," said Marykate Reick, the Co-President of Unified Sports at Rowan University. "You don't get it until you go there on Saturday morning or Sunday morning and you get hooked and you can't stop."
Today was the culmination of a sensational season in which the Gold Team took home the championship title. Next month, that very team will compete in a state championship in Princeton, New Jersey. "The doctors told me I was never going to go to regular school. I was never going to be playing basketball. I was going to be nonverbal for the rest of my life," she said. "And I didn't give up."
