Oregon State Regional Special Olympics Track & Field Meet.
WHERE: Mt. Hood Community College.
DATE: Saturday, June 9, 2012.
TIME: 8:45 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
* Lunch Provided_____________________________________________________________


When the two front-runners raced down the home stretch neck and neck, the spectators in the bleachers jumped to their feet. They couldn’t help themselves. Spectators and volunteers alike were yelling encouragement as the two athletes sprinted towards the finish line.

With family, coaches and volunteers cheering them on, the two athletes dug deep. You know the feeling. Shoulder to shoulder, arms and legs pumping like crazy, eyes focused straight ahead, the two battled it out for first place. Then one of them fell. A collective hush came over the crowd. What happened next will stay with us forever. The other runner stopped and helped his fellow athlete on to his feet and they finished together. The crowd went wild!

The pride we felt for these runners was palatable. A poignant reminder what life is really about. It’s moments like these that we never forget. We have a lot to learn from these athletes.


This is TRL’s 10th year organizing and coordinating this community event. It’s a wonderful experience and we’d like to see new faces join our awesome team of dedicated club members. It may take a village, but in this case, it also takes a 100 fun loving, positive, high-energy TRL members to make it happen. Along with TRL, this is an opportunity for high school students to give back to their community. If you haven’t volunteered for this wonderful event, you’re missing out. This is your opportunity to be a part of something special. Most important, are those with experience. Please, help again, you are most vital to the success of this event.


Vol-un-teer (extraordinaire); club members willing to give of themselves for the benefit of others. TRL Needs YOU! Of course, non-members are also encouraged to volunteer, too.

Not sure how to get to Mt Hood Community College? I always get a little confused heading out there, so here is the address for MHCC:

26000 SE Stark Street, Gresham Oregon. Map HERE.

This address puts you on the North side of campus. The closest parking lot to the track, however, is on the SOUTH side of the campus. You can get there from Stark Street by going SOUTH on NE Kane and then turning EAST or left on NE 17th. It's the first parking lot on your left.

As usual, I'm in for staging and I'll check to see if my mom is available to return also. I thought Joanna was not available to lead?

[Amygirl]

What about photography? I can help with that again and keep pictures to a minimal and help with the finish line per usual.

Thanks, Kate! Joanna will only be present less than two hours, enough time to initiate staging.
