If USA Today has it wrong, I don't know what to say.
Disabled person here (spina bifida). I was a wheelchair track/field/road racing athlete around the turn of the 90's, when I was a teen. Juniors only program, so I have no clue how one qualifies in racing or any other sport in the actual Paras, but I did represent the USA once, in track and field...
Yeah, I posted this on other boards that I like, and I'm finding that nobody else is corroborating this. There's no notice of this on his wiki, even.

I totally forgot about the Stanleys. Ppl were obsessed foR a while, but I forget why. They look OK.
Anyhow, that's a thread in and of itself. Fun meet to watch. Was kind of hoping seniors were tonight but I'll need to wait until tomorrow. I feel like I've been out of the loop lately.
One of my local D1s is SDSU. Their club team is pretty visible on social media, though I think their meets are at a youth club well off campus. I wonder if there is a push by them (or any other MWC primary uni) to add wgymn.
I didn't see this thread until now. I saw the MW gymn championship...
