News5 spoke with Kyle Kemper, the Southeast Regional Manager of Special Olympics Colorado, who says this is the beginning of greater opportunities for athletics across the state.
"With this signing day, getting them connected with a coach on the community side is taking that step, just giving them that leap and bound to that next team and hitting the ground running," said Kemper.
Congratulations to all four of these athletes from Pine Creek High School!
