TEAM WEST VIRGINIA BRINGS HOME GOLD!!!

 

The 2010 USA National Games were a huge success.  Team West Virginia went to the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and took care of business and had a blast doing it.  West Virginia sent 18 athletes and 6 coaches representing the counties of Berkeley, Boone, Cabell, Jackson, Marion, Mason, and Wood.  All of the athletes represented West Virginia with class, sportsmanship and tremendous athleticism.  Congratulations to all of the athletes.
