Lady Bears gather for a picture with some of the Olympians after the athletes completed their events for the day.
The Harcum College Women’s Basketball team volunteered on Saturday, November 8 at the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania hosted by Villanova University. The women were scorekeepers, timers, and most importantly, cheerleaders for all of the athletes that participated in the roller skating events.

The team traveled off site to the Marple Sports Arena to mingle with the athletes during breakfast, and then support them as they competed in events including the 100m, 300m, 500m, and 4x100m relay. Sophomore transfer guard, Ana Edmondson stated, “It was so much fun watching the athletes enjoying themselves and competing at the same time. It felt really good to cheer for them knowing that we were all helping make them feel good about themselves.”

Cheer Team

The team sat on the end line so as the athletes finished their event, the Lady Bears were there to not only record their times, but to greet them with loud cheers and high fives at the finish line. It was a very rewarding experience for the team, and the group is already anxious to help out next year!
Student Government Association
Shana Weaver, Morgan Mosley, and Rachel DuFrayne, all members of the Student Government Association, helped with soccer games: keeping score, retrieving balls, and cheering on the athletes.
