SPECIAL OLYMPICS MEDALIST: Millersville graduate Tamsin Hircock is one of just 101 athletes chosen to represent the United States at the 2025 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Turin, Italy. Tamsin is competing in the snowboarding event from March 7-15, 2025. She just won a bronze medal in the Intermediate Giant Slalom Division 10 with a time of 3:47.740 today, March 12!<br /> <br /> Tamsin and her father, David Hircock, are excited about their journey to compete in the Special Olympics. “Although I want to win a gold medal, I love being with my U.S. team members and am so excited to meet teams from around the world,” Tamsin says. <br /> <br /> Tamsin’s love for snowboarding started at a young age – three years old – and continued through her time at Millersville as she completed the integrated studies program. Millersville’s integrated studies initiative provides students with intellectual disabilities access to an inclusive postsecondary education and residential experience. The program aspires to prepare each student for gainful employment.<br /> <br /> “I love Millersville and all the friends I made and still have from my time there. Millersville taught me to be independent. I also had many jobs at MU, from working in the gym to the coffee shop. This has helped me so much as I now work at the YMCA,” shares Tamsin. <br /> <br /> Help us congratulate Tamsin!
