Partnership with UNM announced in front of thousands of cheering
Lobo fans
After posing for pictures with fellow Special Olympics New Mexico
athletes and board of director members in the middle of the
basketball court at the Pit during a halftime presentation
announcing SONM's partnership with the University of New Mexico,
athlete Ryan Hanson of Farmington turned around and kissed the Lobo
logo on the floor. His act drew a large roar from the crowd of
cheering Lobo fans, and symbolized the strengthening of an already
remarkable relationship.
More
Thoughts
from Randy
Can you remember your childhood days of hiding in a closet? Once you
closed the door you couldn’t see a thing. If your fear got the best
of you and you even barely cracked it open, you suddenly felt
different. Through that tiny crack your darkness changed to light.

Special
Olympics Las Cruces athletes and coaches honored at New Mexico State
University women's basketball game
On Sunday, Jan. 18 the New Mexico State University Aggies honored
dozens of SONM athletes and coaches during a women's basketball
halftime presentation that included a Special Olympics basketball
scrimmage in front of cheering fans.
Some 23 SONM athletes, along with five coaches waved at their fellow
Aggies fans as their names were listed over the PA system. The
athletes then broke out into a short scrimmage, displaying their
individual and team basketball skills. After the scrimmage,
SONM Area 3 Director and coach Ronda Norfleet was presented with an
autographed game ball.
"We were honored to have Special Olympics New Mexico with us this
weekend," said Chris Grosse, an NMSU representative. "I hope this
can become a tradition for us. It was a pleasure honoring these
athletes during the game."
