Included were student athletes from the Manteca Unified School District and the San Joaquin County Office of Education.

They participated in a variety of running, jumping and throwing events and activities – cornhole, face painting, Connect 4, gaga ball, to name a few – at Daniel Teicheira Memorial Stadium.

“The event was a celebration of inclusion, teamwork, and joy for MUSD high school students,” said proudtobemusd via social media on Thursday.

The participating student athletes were part of the Special Day classes at Manteca High, East Union High, Sierra High, Weston Ranch High, Lathrop High, and SJCOE, with participants being awarded with medals.

The All-Star Olympic Games have held every year but one during the COVID-19 pandemic for the past nine years.

The mascots – East Union, Manteca High, Sierra, and Weston Ranch – once again took part in the annual race.

Organizers thanked all who made this day unforgettable.
