A Lexington Special Olympics track team looking for a place to practice with days left to register for next month’s regionals found it. Mark Buerger, the communications director for Special Olympics Kentucky, said East Jessamine High School came through. He said it’s often difficult for teams to find a place where they can train.
“You know, it is a little bit of a challenge. In some communities more than others, it kind of depends, right? Because we don't own any property. Special Olympics doesn't own a property anywhere, our local programs don't own a property anywhere.”
