Jaleen Roberts was born with cerebral palsy. She was encouraged by her high school coaches to compete in the ambulatory races at the Washington state track meet. After some convincing, she would ultimately get involved with adaptive sports through ParaSport Spokane, a Move United member organization. Jaleen’s first para track and field competition took place at the Desert Challenge Games, where she also got classified. Just a couple months ago, she competed in her first Paralympic Games in Tokyo, earning silver medals in the 100 meter and long jump.
