Students from schools across Coweta County competed in the 2010 Special Olympics Spring Games Wednesday morning at Newnan High School's Drake Stadium.
"What a tremendous day for all these young people," said Doug Moore, principal of Newnan High School.
"We've been blessed with wonderful weather today, for this day of fun, friendship, and competition together," said Moore.
Students recited their oath at the opening ceremonies: "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."
"We welcome and encourage all the young athletes here to compete today," said Moore.
East Coweta High School student Kevin Spieler was selected for this year's Norah McGraw Award for outstanding student achievement. Jean McGraw presented the award.
Spieler participates in track and field events and enjoys BMX racing and gymnastics. He earned a spot on the ECHS track and field team and has placed in several events.
