McDaniel students teamed up with more than 100 elementary, middle and high school students with special needs April 6 for the 29th annual Tournament of Champions.

Tournament of Champions allows the students to participate alongside McDaniel buddies who are primarily student-athletes at McDaniel. The students challenge themselves individually and achieve their best scores in various athletic events, such as parachute play, scooter races, Frisbee toss and bowling, among others.

All events are modified to meet the individual needs of the participants. Students do not compete against each other and can go back to any of the event stations to better their own scores. The event is open to students with orthopedic, visual and behavioral needs who attend public, private, or home schools.
