Victory Games At Mineola

Students in the Mineola School District recently participated in the annual Nassau County Empire State Games for the Physically Challenged. Referred to as the Victory Challenge, students were teamed with a buddy and participated in various track and field challenges such as discus throwing, 400-meter races and distance kick. Mineola’s K-12 team had 17 participants this year and was coached by district physical therapist Dana Franklin and occupational therapist Tara Lynch.
