2019 Special Olympics Spring Games
East Henderson High’s track and football field will transform into an Olympic Arena for Special Olympics Henderson County‘s annual Spring Games. Local law enforcement will meet at the Henderson County Courthouse at approximately 8:45 a.m. and run the lit torch to East Henderson High, where the opening ceremonies are scheduled to begin with the Parade of Athletes at 9:30 a.m. The official torch lighting will take place at the end of the opening ceremonies, at about 10:10 a.m.
This year’s Spring Games will be dedicated to former athlete, Tucker Revis, who passed away this year. His mother and sister will have the honor of lighting the flame in his memory.
Approximately 350 registered athletes will compete in softball throw, tennis ball throw, running long jump, standing long jump, 50 meter dash, 100 meter dash, 4×100 relay races, walk races, an assisted walk, wheelchair events, and challenge events.
This year’s Spring Games are sponsored by Blue Ridge Orthodontics, Civitans, Globe Treks Tours and Cruises, Knights of Columbus, Mountain Air Mechanical Contractors, Inc., Quality Home Consultants, and SELEE Corporation, with food donations by Sam’s Club and the Carolina Baptist Association
Family, friends, and community members are encouraged to come out to the field and cheer on the athletes! (Rain Date: April 12)
