The Special Olympics State Games scheduled for this upcoming weekend at Troy University have been canceled.
TROY, Ala. - The Special Olympics State Games scheduled for this upcoming weekend at Troy University have been canceled due to the threat of inclement weather, the school said in a statement.
“After discussions with the State Games leadership and board members, everyone felt it was in the athlete’s best interests to cancel the games,” said Dean of Students Herbert Reeves, who coordinates the games on the University’s behalf. Reeves said a decision to reschedule some events would take place at a later date. He also expressed appreciation to the volunteers, who he credits with the ultimate success of the State Games.
The games, which have been held on the Troy Campus for 11 years, routinely bring some 1,000 athletes and more than 250 coaches and chaperones to the campus. The games are kicked off with the Alabama Law Enforcement Torch Run that brings the Olympic Torch from north Alabama all the way to Troy for the opening ceremonies.and receive the latest local news and weather straight to your email every morning.
