The Special Olympics Jackson County program traveled to Kissimmee recently to take part in the Special Olympics Florida State Fall Classic.  The Jackson County program, which includes Sunland, took part in the softball and bowling competitions.  We are very pleased to report  two athletes from Sunland brought home medals in bowling.  Floyd N. won Gold and Timothy K. won Silver.  Two other bowlers placed:  Richard P. finished fourth and Cheryl D. finished fifth.  Timothy K. won the Inspirational Athlete Award for Jackson County and Donna Conrad won the Inspirational Coach Award for Jackson County.   

In softball, the Sunland Sonics finished third in their division, bringing home Bronze medals.  Sunland athletes on the Sonics softball team included: Christopher C., Andy J., John B., Andrew K., Jon R., Nelson K., Roosevelt E., Robert H., and Jesse D.  Recreation staff that attended the Fall Classic included Clint Cox, Matt Dryden, Donna Conrad, Chuck Dickson, Chris Murff and Mary Herring (Nurse). 

Congratulations to Sunland’s athletes for their well-deserved accomplishments!
