This year was the first year the Special Olympics Track and Field event was separated between North and South Fulton County. Due to the I-85 bridge collapse, Fulton County Schools opted to help alleviate traffic issues for the event by hosting a North and South County Olympics. The North County Track and Field event was hosted at North Springs High School. The South County Track and Field event was hosted at Banneker High School. See below for a video interpretation of the day, with emphasis on the country Jamaica as this was the country the music therapy team was selected to represent this year.
