WARSAW — Seven residents of Warsaw’s Mason Health and Rehabilitation traveled to the Golden Senior Olympics on Thursday, May 30.
The Warsaw Police Department provided the team an escort out of town on their way to the competition at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion that morning. Mayor Jeff Grose also appeared to pass torches to all seven athletes before they departed. The team consisted of Jackson Stroup, Linda Durham, Kenneth Biggs, Donna Majewski, Casey Wawok, Tom Heisler and Wynn Hartshorn.
In the Golden Olympics, senior athletes compete in events such as bowling, golf, cornhole, volleyball, wheelchair races. There are also mental challenges, including checkers and trivia games.
Mason Health took home the gold in volleyball, silver in the 200 yard wheelchair dash, bronze in checkers and bronze in the quiz bowl. They were in competition with 17 sister facilities from northern Indiana in the Golden Olympics this year.
