Standout performances from Gigi Gernhart and Angelina Schubothe highlighted results for athletes from Clark County at the Special Olympics Washington Winter Games.
The Games were held March 2-4 in the Wenatchee area, and involved some 1,500 athletes in six sports.
Competing for the Sno Phantoms, a Clark County skiing and snowboarding team, Gigi and Angelina each won gold medals in all of their events. Angelina races on the advanced course, and Gigi on the intermediate course.
Gigi’s gold medal win makes her eligible to apply for one of Washington’s allocated spots for the 2013 Special Olympics World Games, to be held in South Korea. Jonathon Schauer’s gold medal on the advanced course makes him eligible to apply for the World Games.
