Rockets Share Joy of Victory With Area Special Needs Students

TOLEDO, OH – The University of Toledo football program hosted its fourth annual "Victory Day" for special needs students from Toledo area schools in the Glass Bowl on Saturday. Participating students met UT football players, ran drills and heard their names announced over the public address system as they scored a touchdown.

Victory Day is an opportunity for special needs students to have their "moment in the sun" on the football field. Each student was partnered with a UT football player who served as his or her mentor for the day. Victory Day athletes wore Rocket team jerseys and were presented with medals at the end of the day to commemorate their victory.
