As we near the end of the two year pilot program, our efforts to lobby the MHSAA will be ramping up. Here's what we're fighting for:
#1: That the adaptive category be made permanent
#2: That adaptive athletes are allowed to be scoring members of their teams for MHSAA hosted events, not just token exhibition
#3: That all track and field events open to standing runners are also open to adaptive team members
#4: The establishment of an ambulatory category
Be checking back over the next few days as we expand on what this could and should look like in the State of Michigan. We've been decades behind the rest of the nation in terms of inclusion in track and field. Now's our chance to step up and lead!
