Team USA Highlights
9. Soccer player and Women's World Cup champion athlete Jessica McDonald is just too good. McDonald shared a tweet with some very impressive fun facts about her track career!
2 fun facts: I set the Arizona state record for high school track and field in the 400 my junior year without training for it.

I also hold my high school (Cactus High School) records in the 4x4, 400, 200, and 100 (which are still held).
10. A day we will never forget. USA Hockey also reminisced on the day the U.S. sled hockey team won gold at the Paralympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018. Has it really been two years, already?
Two years ago today, the boys brought home Paralympic gold. 🥇🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/C8Qb58dPZB
