Gold-medalist, Bernard Rollen Williams III approached Nikolas saying that he'd heard about Nikolas's campaign and was very supportive of him taking the time to help others. Lacey O'Neal, Olympic pioneer who blazed a trail for equal opportunity in both gender and race, has helped others around the world through diplomatic service and the Peace Corps for decades. She told Nikolas she was very proud of him for helping others at such a young age and wished him the best. And finally, Nikolas became the USATF National Indoor Race Walk Champion for his age group. What a great weekend! Nikolas did an outstanding job presenting at the Rotary Mid-Atlantic President-elect Conference! Complete with a standing ovation! Way to go, Nikolas! And thanks so much for the opportunity, Rotary! Check out some photos here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.527967813988927.1073741832.255649931220718& |
