On Friday, May 17, 2019, Kaukauna High School is hosting our first annual Breaking Boundaries Triathlon: an adaptive triathlon for students with disabilities. A rain date of Monday, May 20, 2019, has been scheduled if needed. Our students will partake in swimming, biking, and running/walking from the Heart of the Valley YMCA along the CE trail to the Bank of Kaukauna Stadium, located at Kaukauna High School. To ensure safety and success during the race, students will have the option to complete the race with a peer mentor or staff member to help guide them through the course. Parents are encouraged to cheer on their athlete at the
YMCA and along the racing route.
Thanks to our generous donors, our event will be provided at no cost to our student athletes and peer mentors. We strive to provide "Possibilities for All Abilities." Students will receive a free t-shirt to wear on race day and will be provided lunch. If needed, adaptive biking equipment will be provided upon request. Please visit the website listed below to register for the Breaking Boundaries Triathlon by March 8: https://sites.google.com/kaukaunasd.org/breakingboundariestriathlon/registration
Students are encouraged to attend as many training dates as possible. Student athletes will meet in Ms. Hennes’s or Ms. Clemons’s room, and then as a group we will go to KHS fitness center to train for the triathlon. We will begin promptly at 3:30pm and will finish at 4:15pm. We kindly ask that parents pick up their student promptly at 4:15 pm, in front of the Bank of Kaukauna Stadium entrance.
