"Nationals were awesome,  the sprites received a standing ovation every time they performed!!  Which was very heartwarming and not expected. I received positive feedback from the adjudicators  they were impressed by what the team could do, the choreography, and the music selections.the ladies also performed at Olympic plaza on Canada day to a packed audience and they did an awesome job!!! They were true ambassadors  to special Olympics!!"

Well done Sonya, Linda and all the coaches who helped prepare these ladies and a big shout out to all the SOE RG Sprites athletes who were amazing representatives of SOE, SOA and Edmonton!
