Team Virginia Returns Home!
Final Medal Count: 18 GOLD, 18 SILVER & 12 BRONZE!
They're back! Team Virginia landed in Richmond Saturday afternoon after six incredible days at the 2010 National Games. Almost everyone returned with medals around their neck (the final count for the team was 18 gold medals, 18 silver and 12 bronze), but more importantly, they returned with incredible stories and new friends to keep in touch with. To find out how each athlete did, visit our RESULTS page. Also, check out some of our best National Games photos! And if you haven't already, check out our "Fields of Gold" blog for details from their trip -- you can also meet Team Virginia here.
Each year, Special Olympics Virginia honors those individuals, volunteers and families whose exemplary support, efforts and embodiment of the spirit of Special Olympics make a significant impact on our program and the lives of the athletes we serve. Currently, we are seeking nominations for 2010. All nominations are due by Nov. 19. Read More
