Sam was Abby's fifth grade teacher!
Former Blaze rockstar Abby Bauleke has been selected as a member of the 2020 Team USA Wheelchair Basketball Team!! Abby graduated from Burnsville High School in 2020. She swam for the BHS Swim team for 6 years and was a dedicated student/athlete, leader and an all around awesome young lady!! While Abby loved swimming, her true passion has always been basketball. She currently plays for the University of Alabama and now TEAM USA!!
There will not be a formal send off for Abby as once she returns from camp in Alabama she will be heading to Colorado to quarantine with her team before heading to Tokyo!! But, if you would like to wish Abby luck or send her words of encouragement, we have a way for you to do so!! Friends and family of Paralympic athletes can submit letters or artwork (not boxes) that will be delivered to the athlete's room in the Village in Tokyo!! I am sure Abby would love to hear from you all (as you may have heard, spectators are banned from the Tokyo Olympics, due to COVID 19). Mail MUST arrive by August 3, 2021, to the following address:
Abby Bauleke
United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee
ATTN: Paralympics Operations, Jamie Martin
1 Olympic Plaza
Colorado Springs, CO 80909
Here is the wheelchair basketball schedule along with the roster of the 12 amazing women who will represent the USA with Abby. I hope that you are able to join me in supporting Abby and sending her well wishes as she competes for GOLD in Tokyo!!
