What an awesome weekend it was at Indoor Winter Games in York. 7 Westmoreland athletes qualified for this event and displayed their best skills and all left with gold/silver medals! 🥇🎳🎳

The bowling State Championships for sure did NOT disappoint. Athletes enjoyed tons of fun, dancing, singing and cheering each other on. Truly incredible weekend. We are so proud of each and every one of you. Job extremely well done 👏.

We also would like to extend a HUGE thank you to all of our coaches/volunteers that took their time to make this possible. Couldn’t be done without you.

During the annual SOPA Winter Games last week we had some of our athletes and coaches brave the cold water and take a mobile plunge! All to fundraise money to help them and their teammates compete in various sports.

Videos in comments.

With that being said we have one of our athlete reps - Zachary Williams that has been raising money on his own! If anyone would like to donate to this, start their own team or absolutely join Zachary on plunge weekend (Feb 27th-28th) that would be awesome. All info on the page but please reach out to us with any questions.
