2007 Special Olympics Winter Games | Ivy Street Hawks Take Home the Bronze

On March 10-11, nearly 1,000 athletes from all over Massachusetts gathered to compete in the 2007 Special Olympics Winter Games. Athletes competed in a number of events, including Alpine Skiing, Snowboarding, Nordic Skiing, Floor Hockey, Figure Skating, Speed Skating, Ten Pin Bowling, and Basketball.

Our very own Ivy Street Hawks ventured west to Worcester to compete in the basketball tournament, capturing the bronze medal before the weekend was over. The competition was fierce, with the battle for second place determined by a tie-break! The Hawks finished just behind the Cambridge Warriors and the Belmont Blue Devils with a record of 3-1-1 for the tournament.

Congratulations to all of our athletes and a big thank you to all of the staff who helped make the weekend a success.
