It was a proud moment at the recent Jordan School District Board of Education meeting as Board member Suzanne Wood introduced members of the West Jordan High School Unified Sports basketball “Blue Team” for recognition.
The “Blue Team” played their hearts out, taking first place in the State Unified Sports basketball division tournament held at the Delta Center. Congratulations to the entire team and their coaches; Christy Baker, Jessica Little, and Sheldon Russell.
Also, congratulations to West Jordan High’s Garret Draper who, at the same tournament, was named the Unified Athlete of the Year for Special Olympics of Utah Unified Sports.
Jordan School District has 200 high school students involved in Unified Sports; soccer, basketball, and track & field. About 300 middle school students participate in Unified Sports; soccer, basketball, golf, and bocci ball.
We are very proud of our Unified Sports athletes and their partners!
