Special Olympics

Hi, my name is Katy Sanchez, I am a Special Olympic Athlete, The sports I participate in are soccer, basketball, cross-country skiing, sailing, golf, floor hockey, track and field, cycling and triathlons.  This my 6th year doing Special Olympics. I am a Global Messenger for Special Olympics VA and Global Messenger for Special Olympics New York! I am spreading the news about Special Olympic. There are 3.7 Million athletes worldwide!!! That's 170 countries!! Its is  an AWESOME cause!!!  The Special Olympic Oath is "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me brave in the attempt." There are many things you can do with Special Olympics!! You can be coach, volunteer, or be FAN!!  So get out go see an Special Olympic game!! Please find your local region on www.specialolympics.org.

In 2010 I was selected and honored to be part of a team of athletes from Virginia that represented the USA at the Latin American Games in Puerto Rico. I competed in the triathlon there and took the bronze medal in my division!! It was one of the best times of my life.  I will never forget our experiences there.  While there, my teammates and I heard the most exciting news that I was selected to go to the Special Olympics National Games in Lincoln, Nebraska with Team Virginia!!  In Nebraska I competed in Track and field and won gold medals in the 100m race and running long jump.  I won a silver medal in the shot put and a bronze medal in the 400 meters race.  In the near future, my goal is to be selected to compete in the World Games! Pictures below of the Nationals.

I really do miss my teammates in VA!!!

My teammates and I have a track meet on May 18th at Sleepy Hollow High School in Sleepy Hollow, NY. Please come out and support a great cause, I will let you know we do."
