The Armijo High School gym was filled to capacity Thursday with plenty of cheering as a show of support for the Special Olympics Track and Field competition.

Originally planned for the track outside, rain chased everyone into the gym where special education students from the Fairfield-Suisun School District were paired with partners from Armijo High.

“This is the first year we have hosted this,” said Carly Perales, athletic director for Armijo.

It was standing room only in the gym – one side had students from classes and the other side had guests from special education classes from across the district.
