Courtney Langelotti
Hello! I am Courtney Langelotti. I live in Brockport, New York. I will be attending SUNY Brockport this year as a freshman! I have been involved with Special Olympics for about 4 years, but have been promoting inclusion for as long as I can remember. I am so excited to continue to be pushing our communities to become more inclusive, and to make sure there are equal opportunities for everybody.
Sam Pirker-Fruehauf
Hello, my name is Samantha and I am a senior at Swartz Creek High School, MI. I started getting involved in Special Olympics about four years ago and have been in love with it ever since! It has fueled my belief that inclusion is needed in everyone’s life because it gives every person the opportunity to express their thoughts and opinions. My passion for Special Olympics and inclusion began when my brother started competing in events like track and field and bowling. I joined a unified champions class that helped me learn the basics and got me started on my long, exciting journey. Outside of Special Olympics and Unified Champions I am in student council, link crew, and I am working on becoming fluent in asl.
