The article is long so imma make a summary. On my local news station there is this girl who is on a wheelchair but the specialized wheelchair for sport (she still uses her arms though). Everyone is okay for her to be on the track team including matches against other schools but the PIAA of the state wont allow her to be on the track team because of her wheelchair.
What do you think? Can she be on the track team? even though she is on a wheelchair.. My opinion: its a icky situation cause i feel bad for her but in my mind it still pops up that she is in a wheel chair there might be a slight advantage for her, but then again she moves them with her arms. I am not sure but i dont think she should be on the team. lol sorry. Article here. |

I dont wanna be mean too but like its a wheelchair i think she should join another sport. I think i would say yes to her if she had those running legs the prosthetic legs. yea then i guess she could join but she has a problem with her spine that disables her to walk.
