When USA Wheelchair Rugby coach Joe Delagrave named the 12 athletes who will compete internationally in France and Chile, former Naperville resident Sarah Adam -- the only woman -- made the cut.
USA Wheelchair Rugby coach Joe Delagrave recently named the 12 athletes on his team who will compete internationally in France and Chile. Former Naperville resident Sarah Adam made the cut. She was the only woman to make the cut. If all continues to go well for the Naperville North High School graduate, she could end up at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. No woman has ever played in that competition.
“They have jobs and they have families and kids and do everything, but they do it a little bit differently. Seeing that helped me because they were doing just fine and that helped me wrap my mind around it.” Adam began competing seriously in wheelchair rugby in 2019 but COVID-19 slowed things down. She was able to return to full speed last year. The USA team will compete in the Wheelchair Rugby Cup in Paris Oct. 13-21 and the Parapan American Games in Santiago, Chile, Nov. 17-26.
