For 40 years, the
Glenn D. Loucks Memorial Games (www.loucksgames.org
) in White Plains, NY has been one of the premiere high school track
and field meets in the U.S. and the largest independent on-campus meet
in the nation. In 2003 the Games, always held on Mother's Day
weekend, drew more than 1,000 able-bodied and disabled athletes from
over 217 schools in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Georgia,
Louisiana, Vermont and Quebec Canada. The Games
annually produce some of the best scholastic performances in the U.S.
and have in the past showcased numerous future world-class, Olympic,
and Paralympic athletes.
For the fifth
year Wheelchair Sports, USA has partnered with the Games to bring
wheelchair track to this event, on an equal footing with the
able-bodied events. |
