Story One

Special Olympian Kelly McRuvie

There are many Special Olympians here at Cosmo that have enjoyed a spectacular year in their respective sports. There is one athlete, Kelly McRuvie, however, that stands out. After last year’s national speed skating event Kelly was chosen as one of only two athletes from Saskatchewan that would represent Team Canada at the Special Olympic World Games that were held earlier this month in Anchorage, Alaska. At these Games Kelly performed very well, earning two gold medals in the 777 m and 1000 m and a silver medal in the 500 m. Congratulations on a job well done Kelly. We are all very proud of you.
