If you are out and about, you might spot an Olympian in our midst. Virginia Wade, a Wallingford native, is an Olympic alpine skier, in the Special Olympics. She is headed to Austria and the World Special Olympic Games in a few weeks.
Virginia, a sixteen-year-old Roosevelt High School freshman, competes in the giant Slalom and the Super G. She trains with the Skihawks at Snoqualmie Pass and has been skiing since she was 4. She will travel with the Washington delegation to meet the US Team on March 12. The games will be televised on ESPN and CBS from March 18-25. Virginia is one of five Washington delegates and the only delegate on the Women’s Alpine Racing Team.
Keep and eye out for her and wish her good luck.
