DescriptionA girl in a wheelchair, with two people talking to her and several onlookers.

Big smiles and big hugs -- they were the most prevalent sight at Arizona State University's Joe Selleh Track Field, Friday and Saturday, as winners representing all the state's counties vied in annual Arizona Special Olympics games. Here a pair of wheelchair contestants share a moment of exultation. Hugs and smiles greeted every Olympics contestant as they came off the field after competing -- supplied by hundreds of volunteers there to give encouragement and support to handicapped athletes of all ages.
