After attending our adult Track meet as a part this country's largest amateur Winter Sports festival, featuring over 10,000 athletes in 42 sports, something was missing. James Smith, our Track Commissioner, was fabulous. Tara and Gary were stars as always. The interns were plentiful and tremendously effective. But something was missing.
Michael Slaughter and Roy Clark were not in attendance. They have recently passed away but still stand strong in my mind as stalwarts not only in our community but in the sport of Track and Field. We will do our best to remember their contributions and their intense inspiration they gave to one and all. The Power Player Award will be named in their honor as a small token of our sincere feelings towards these two role model athletes. "Something was missing."

The Grand Canyon State Games is a multi-sport Olympic Festival providing a showcase for the talents and aspirations for Arizona and America's youth regardless of age or ability and to share many of the great attributes of our state. In fact we have had a 3 year old come down the mountain in our Winter skiing event and a 99 year old gentleman throw the javelin in our Track & Field event. We truly have something for everyone.
