Jean Driscoll to headline Saint Mary's School's 2019 Board of Visitors meeting

RALEIGH, N.C. - Sept. 27, 2019 - PRLog -- The Saint Mary's School Board of Visitors will convene its Annual Meeting on Wednesday, October 2, 2019,  8 a.m. Our theme is Dream Big, Work Hard, a variation on the 2020 Do Big Things theme introduced earlier this year to our campus community by Saint Mary's student leaders.

Since 1990, Jean Driscoll has been one of the most inspiring leaders in women's sports. Her tenacity for winning at women's wheelchair racing earned her a place in the record books, and her charisma and enthusiasm for life has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. Best known for her eight victories at the Boston Marathon and her two Olympic silver medals (1992, 1996), she still holds the world record in the 10,000 meter (6.2 mile) track event that was set during the 1996 Paralympic Games in Atlanta. Jean remains the only 12-time champion of the Lilac Bloomsday 12K Road Race held in Spokane, Washington, and she owned the course record in her division from 1995 - 2015. Jean has inspired both men and women, athletes and non-athletes, and those with and without physical disabilities. Jean's message will inspire us all to Dream Big and Work Hard together.
