ABOUT

This uniquely inclusive annual meet offers an incredible opportunity for US and international para athletes to compete at a world class facility. University of Michigan Adaptive Sports has collaborated with Athletes Without Limits to ensure athletes with intellectual disability, down syndrome and autism (in all three Virtus groups ii1, ii2, ii3) have the opportunity to compete as part of this event!

In addition to established national athletes, newer athletes ages 14+ are invited to attend as the meet will also serve as talent identification event.
