The annual regional Special Olympics bowling event, which draws participants from Knox, Waldo and Lincoln counties, saw the younger group participate in the morning and older group in the afternoon.
The event is a highlight for most Special Olympians, many of whom also get involved in other regional events such as swimming, track and field and tennis, among other activities.
On Monday, Captain Jammer (Jon Moro, the Windjammers first-year boys varsity basketball coach), the Camden Hills Regional High School mascot, arrived to help school Principal Shawn Carlson award the school-aged athletes their award ribbons.
Captain Jammer and Carlson also had a one-ball bowl off — in which Carlson won.
There was a lot of laughter and high-fives during the younger participants' session. The adult session included a lot of comparison of bowling scores by the older athletes.
The schools and organization represented at the event were: Thomaston Grammar School, Oceanside Middle School, Oceanside High School, Camden-Rockport Elementary School, Camden-Rockport Middle School, Camden Hills Regional High School, Miller School, Medomak Middle School, Medomak Valley High School, Captain Albert Stevens School, Troy Howard Middle School, Belfast Area High School, Coastal Opportunities, and MVRA.
