The athletes are coming back to Tampa with 26 Gold Medals, 7 Silver Medals, and 4 Bronze Medals!

Hillsborough County Adaptive Sports competed in Texas Parasport Games this past weekend. The athletes competed in archery, track, field, power lifting, and air precision and brought home 14 gold and 12 silver medals. Now it is time to get ready for Nationals 🎉
