The U.S. Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Team are bringing home silver after securing the No. 2 spot at the Paris Paralympics on Sunday.
Team USA started strong during the finals but fell to the Netherlands 63-49. With this silver-medal win, the U.S. earns its third-straight medal in women’s wheelchair basketball. The team won gold in 2016 and bronze in 2020.
The Crimson Tide was well represented in Paris with several Alabama Adapted Athletics student-athletes and staff members on Team USA, including Abby Bauleke, Bailey Moody and Ixhelt Gonzalez as well as head coach Ryan Hynes, assistant coach Lindsey Zurbrugg and athletic trainer Alex Curry.
The College of Education couldn’t be more proud of these UA Paralympians!
