VISD Special Olympics Olympians getting ready to cross finish line

What a day to remember! The 10th Annual VISD Special Olympics Crossroad Relays were more than just a competition-it was a powerful celebration of determination, inclusion, and incredible spirit of our Special Olympians. Athletes from Calhoun Co. ISD, Cuero ISD, Victoria Shining Stars, and our very own Team Victoria lit up the track and field with talent, tenacity, and infectious enthusiasm. 

From the opening cheer to the final race, the energy was electric. Families, friends, and supporters filled the stands, rallying behind each competitor and creating an atmosphere of pure encouragement and joy. This milestone event - ten years strong! - stood as a beautiful reminder of what can be achieved when a community comes together. 

A heartfelt thank you goes to the many hands and hearts who made this event possible. From our dedicated district volunteers and the generosity of community donors who ensured our athletes had everything they needed to shine, your support is the true foundation of this event.
