Several Frostburg State University student-athletes volunteered their time at the Spring Games of the Allegany (Md.) County Special Olympics as part of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), held earlier this month at Allegany College of Maryland.

The Bobcats were responsible for escorting Olympians to their events, handing out medals, setting up events and recording event results.

Frostburg State has begun a partnership with the Special Olympics as part of the Capital Athletic Conference SAAC and NCAA Division III SAAC Initiative. 

Earlier this year, the SAAC committees at Marymount University and Wesley College also participated in Special Olympics projects.

Representing the university were Joey Busch (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard West) from men's lacrosse, Jenny Davis (Herndon, Va./Herndon) from women's lacrosse, Stephanie Straka (Jerome, Pa./Conemaugh Township) and Lisa Byer (Johnstown, Pa./Conemaugh) from women's basketball, Tori Suess (Milton, Del./Sussex Technical) from field hockey, Anthony King (Germantown, Md./Northwest) and Josh Volpe (Germantown, Md./Northwest) from the football team and Erin Proctor (Sterling, Va./Potomac Falls) and Liz Seligman (Rockville, Md./St. Johns College) from women's soccer.
