Outstanding!
Athlete Maya Rivera had an amazing experience last summer, when she represented the US at the World Games in Abu Dhabi. Maya was among the athletes who competed in bocce, and she returned to the States with medals, ribbons, and stories. We’re so proud of you Maya. You were brave, you had courage, and we’re so lucky to call you our Star.
And congrats, too, to the Stars who represented Minneosta at the USA games in 2018: Sarah Haugen (swimming); Charlie Rea (bocce) and Russell Greenhalge (bowling).
