There's Gold in Whitewater!
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater men’s and women’s wheelchair basketball teams are well represented this summer at the Paralympic Games of Paris 2024.
Christina Schwab, former Warhawk women’s wheelchair basketball coach pictured above... will serve as head coach of the Team USA women.
UW-Whitewater started its adaptive sports program in 1973. The school invested in building a wheelchair basketball program and has been dominant in the sport ever since. At the 2021 Tokyo Paralympics, five of the athletes on the U.S. gold medal-winning men’s wheelchair basketball team were UW-Whitewater alumni.
We are cheering for them in Paris & hoping they'll bring home gold again!

What do you get when you love baseball and connecting with people? Meet Mario from Green Bay, whose passions led him to stadiums in Alaska, behind TV cameras and bright lights, and eventually to a baseball league for kids with disabilities. Here's a snippit from his @Love Wisconsin story, one ...of more than 150 stories curated by region and collection on our Love Wisconsin website!
"My grandfather on my mother’s side was a natural storyteller. We always joked that if you walked past my house, you were going to have to strike up a conversation with my grandfather whether you wanted to or not. He was just a social and talkative person, and growing up around that rubbed off on me.
As a kid, I had a pretty creative mind. My imagination was always running wild. Stories were a way I could make things up. Then in school, I always liked writing about people. In seventh or eighth grade, I got to write a pretty extensive piece about the baseball player Roberto Clemente. I enjoyed that. Telling stories was my way of sharing experiences and connecting with others. "
