Opening Ceremonies for the National Games were held in Seattle this weekend.

July 2, 2018 By Mike Schoemer

Members of the St. Michael-Albertville Stallions – the local athletic program that is part of Special Olympics Minnesota – marched with other Minnesota athletes in the Opening Ceremonies of the 2018 USA Special Olympics Games, held in Seattle, Washington, this month.

The Stallions wereselected by Special Olympics Minnesota to represent TEAM MINNESOTA in Unified Flag Football at the 2018 USA Games, which run through July 6.

You can meet each member of the STMA Stallions flag football team right here, on their special website. 

Coaches and organizers said this is a “once in a lifetime” opportunity for these amazing kids who enjoy the game of football, but enjoy being together and competing even more.

The opening ceremonies were broadcast on ABC affiliate KSTP, but the national feed went to commercial as much of the Minnesota athlete contingent came into Husky Stadium.

So, we’ve got video from the crew on the ground right here:
