Athlete of the Week: Chris Teague

Chris is originally from Ottawa, but lives in Burlington now.  He has been a Special Olympics athlete for at least seven years and participates in basketball, bowling, and track and field.  His favorite event is bowling though!  Chris thinks the best part of Special Olympics is competing against new people, spending time with teammates, and of course when you win and get to do a victory dance! 

"Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."

We wish all of the best to Chris as he continues his career as a Special Olympics athlete!
