 |
ORLANDO, Fla. — North Adams' Jenna Thomas made it three golds in three events at this week's Special Olympics USA Games.
Thomas finished her competition on Thursday by helping Team Massachusetts earn a team gold at the Boardwalk Bowl Entertainment Center.
That added to the individual gold Thomas picked up on Tuesday and the doubles gold she earned on Wednesday.
Thomas, who has been competing in Special Olympics for 20 years, said competing on the national stage was a unique opportunity.
"Going to the USA games is an honor to represent Massachusetts and meet a lot of new people," Thomas said in remarks reported by Special Olympics.
"Being at an event like this lets me be myself, no judgment."
