2010 Olympic Day North and South!
Olympic Day has been an annual event for the homeschooled students in the state of
Oklahoma for the past 14 years. Students come from all over the state to compete in five
of the thirteen events offered. Last year 700 students participated at Regional Park in
Midwest City and over 1,800 ribbons were awarded. Each student competes against
their own age level and gender.
Olympic Day for homeschooled children was started in Norman, OK by Mark and Rita
Robinson. After hosting the track meet for a few years, Diane Taylor moved the
event to Midwest City. Every year the number of contestants has increased. Because the
crowd size has outgrown the park, Mrs. Taylor is planning two Olympic Day
Track meets for this year. The South track day will be at Veterans Park in Newcastle, OK
on May 10, 2010. The North track day will be at Regional Park in Midwest City on
May 13, 2010. The track meets will be have the same list of events and schedule.
Mrs. Taylor will host both events with an army of well equipped workers.
Mrs. Taylor hosts the track meet every year because she believes that children should have a reason to practice running, jumping, throwing and hula hooping. She understands how this event gives the homeschool families a place of belonging, community, and friendly competition. It is an annual event that hundreds of homeschooled children look forward to every year. Mrs. Taylor hopes that both events will be well attended.
