Athletes from all over central Montana took part in the events, and with that came a great crowd, good competition and lots of camaraderie.

"It's an awesome experience for me," athlete Nick Roberts said. "I've done it many of times, and yeah it's great. I have many of my friends here, I have a best friend from Lewistown and a best friend from Shelby, and my fiance who's also here, so yeah it's all good."

"Getting to compete against other athletes from Montana, and just being a part of Special Olympics means a lot to me," athlete Jennifer Hill said.

"Lots of energy, and a lot of fans to come and watch and see us play," athlete Phil Nehiley said.
