🌟 Athletes of the Month Alert! 🌟
Join us in celebrating Carly Van Roekel and Tom Archambeau, our July Special Olympics South Dakota Athletes of the Month! 🏅
🏃♀️ Carly, from the Special Olympics Sioux Falls Fireworks, has spent 17 years lighting up Basketball, Bocce, Bowling, Softball, Track, and Volleyball. Her favorite part? Traveling to events and having fun with her teammates—especially her teammate Allison Koth! 🧡✨
🏀 Tom, representing the Mitchell team, has been an athlete for over 20 years, competing in Basketball, Bocce, Bowling, and Softball. What he loves most is spending time with his coach Mary Hieb, best friend Jerry Vobr, and all his teammates! 🤝🎳
We are so inspired by Carly and Tom’s dedication, teamwork, and love for the game. Let’s give them both a big round of applause! 👏💙
