Special Olympics athletes from Clearfield County recently competed in the Fall State Bocce Sectional at Juniata College in Huntingdon. The athletes placed well in their divisions and had a great day meeting new friends and reconnecting with old friends. They will be attending a Bocce invitational in Bloomsburg on Oct. 28 as well. Special Olympics offers year round sports opportunities for intellectually handicapped individuals across the state and around the world. If you would like to coach, donate or if you know of an athlete that would like to compete in Special Olympics, please email specialolympicsclfdco@yahoo.com.
