The Special Olympics of Southern California (SOSC) recently held the San Luis Obispo Spring Sports Expo at Cuesta College, with over 600 athletes participating. This marked the second consecutive year of the school hosting this competition. Festivities for the 2024 games began at 9:45 a.m., with a parade of athletes, singing of the national anthem, reciting of the pledge of allegiance, and more. The various competitions, including track and field, basketball, and bocce, took place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The event received support from local law enforcement, approximately 40 schools in San Luis Obispo County, and over 700 community members who gathered to cheer on and support the athletes. The awards announcer, Scott Cusick, expressed admiration for the athletes’ determination and resilience in the face of challenges. He highlighted the athletes’ relentless pursuit of excellence and how they inspire others with their unyielding spirit.
