MILTON-FREEWATER
– Grant County Special
Olympics athletes put their
best foot forward at the
June 20 Regional Summer
Games.
The event, at Mil-
ton-Freewater’s
Shock-
man Field, drew Special
Olympics groups from
Baker, Hermiston/Pend-
leton, Milton-Freewater,
Union, Mitchell, Harney
County and Washington
State.
Coaches Anthony and
Sharon Busch led the Grant
County team of 11 athletes
for track and field events,
ranging from softball
throw to pentathlon.
“I thought they all did
really well,” Anthony
said. “We practice at Grant
Union High School, and
almost invariably they beat
their time in practice.”
He said he appreciated
the other volunteers who
attended: Deronda Lalla-
tin, Jannet Hoeffner, Kodi
Bremner and Karla Colson.
