The team did Riverside proud! They demonstrated excellent teamwork skills and showed good sportsmanship throughout. They competed in events such as relay, agility, shotput, speed walking and javelin. They even got the chance to meet world champion parathletes and try on their World Championship medals. I think Riverside could have a few World Champions in the making!
