“Track Has Changed My Life”
“Track has given me the chance to shoot for higher goals. It has taught me to strive for better and be the best that I can be. It has also made a dream of mine feel much more possible: I am training at the University of Illinois Paralympic Wheelchair Track Training Center, attending college and working toward making the Paralympic Team USA.”
Christian – GLASA track athlete
“GLASA Gave Nina the Opportunity to Shine”
“Nina had the opportunity to compete with her peers and gain recognition from our community. She competed in the first IHSA swim meet, which allowed athletes with disabilities to compete, and won a record 3 gold medals. Our daughter is determined, confident and an elite athlete because GLASA invested the time to help her take her drive and determination to the next level.”
Terry Ann – Parent
