We couldn’t be more proud of Noah Hiles, Special Olympics Ohio’s 2025 Male Athlete of the Year, for serving as a co-host of the Honored Guest Reception during the 2026 State Summer Games!

Noah’s confidence, leadership, and passion for Special Olympics were on full display as he welcomed distinguished guests, sponsors, supporters, and athletes from across Ohio. His journey from athlete to coach, advocate, and now event host is a testament to the incredible opportunities Special Olympics provides.

Noah continues to be an outstanding representative of Ross County and a role model for athletes throughout Ohio. Congratulations on another amazing accomplishment, Noah! Your Trailblazer family is incredibly proud of you! ❤️🖤
