Hundreds volunteer at local Special Olympics

By Stephanie McFeeters | January 22, 2012

Aditi Kirtikar / The Dartmouth Staff Nearly 100 athletes and over 300 volunteers congregated at the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme on Saturday for the 10th annual Special Olympics Upper Valley Regional Winter Games, at which athletes from New Hampshire and Vermont competed in over 20 different snowshoeing, snowboarding and alpine and Nordic skiing events. Olympic gold medal skier Hannah Kearney '15 welcomed the athletes and encouraged them to try their best. "Competition is great because it pushes you beyond what you thought your limits were," she said. "Greatness isn't about winning or losing," Gendo Allyn Field, founder of The Upper Valley Zen Center, said in his introductory speech at the opening ceremony. To initiate the Games, Jennifer Mayfield of the Upper Valley Hawks, a team that has competed in the Special Olympics for 15 years, lit the Olympic flame and her teammate Michael Stoodley led the athletes in the athlete oath "Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." The Dartmouth Aires also led the crowd in the national anthem. Julie Tantillo, an alpine skier and Upper Valley Hawks member, had a minor fall during one of her races but recovered immediately.

Consequently, simply going on Google and searching "notorious Dartmouth alum" or "bad Dartmouth alumni" proved difficult.
