## Resource

Team Vermont stunned the nation with sixteen medals at the Special Olympics USA Games in Minneapolis, led by Kevin Conger’s three personal triumphs—including gold—and a historic Unified basketball gold medal win over Delaware. Twenty athletes competed in track, swimming, and basketball, turning a once-in-a-lifetime event into a celebration of courage, resilience, and unity. Funded by community efforts like the Penguin Plunge, the trip covered every cost, spotlighting not just medals but personal records and friendships forged across states. Coaches and athletes alike emphasized growth over glory, with winter and spring training culminating in unforgettable moments of pride. Though bittersweet to say goodbye, the shared joy and camaraderie proved that sports have the power to shatter stereotypes and elevate every participant.
