Athletes will compete in a number of events, including aquatics, bocce, bowling, cycling, horseshoes, powerlifting, track & field and volleyball.
The games will take place June 10 through 12. The university says moving the games to the state-of-the-art Gibson Track and Field Complex will bring the many activities closer together.
"Everything will be in close proximity," said Frederick Clark, director of Hulman Center Facilities and Event Services. "The games themselves will be centered in one location. Some spectators will have the opportunity to park closer to the games and won’t have to walk so far. The Special Olympics organization has also brought in several buses to help transport athletes over to the complex."
