Thanks to Mount Saint Mary College’s dedicated student-athletes and some help from the community, the Mount Knights were recently declared the winners of the NCAA Division III Special Olympics Spotlight Poll.
The prize: $500, to be used for the Mount’s next Special Olympics event.
The Knights were nominated for a basketball clinic with Special Olympians from around the Hudson Valley. Members of the men’s and women’s basketball teams led the Olympians in various skill stations and games.
The monthly poll features stories that highlight a Division III and Special Olympics joint activity or event. The story with the highest number of votes from the community is named the winner.
