Excitement was in the air for nearly 1,000 athletes, family members, volunteers and supporters at the seventh annual Junior Blind Olympics last Saturday, April 9, 2011.

Children and youth from throughout California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah came to Junior Blind's Los Angeles campus to experience the thrill of competition and achievement.

Several special guests also joined in on the festivities, including Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, California State Senator Curren Price, California State Assembly Member Holly J. Mitchell, former gold medalist Rafer Johnson and world champion power lifter Cody Colchado, Jr.

The event was made up of many memorable moments including the inspirational message provided by Junior Blind alumnus, Andrew Luk, and the performance of the National Anthem by 10 year-old, David Sandoval.
