Residents at The Watermark at Continental Ranch are getting into the Olympic spirit in their own unique way. What began earlier this week with the pool noodle javelin throw, culminated with Wii bowling on Friday, bringing laughter and cheers throughout the room.“I love bowling, I had a great time,” said 73-year-old resident Diana Mugno, who turned back the clock with several strikes. Once the co-owner of a real bowling alley, Mugno achieved one of her highest scores yet.

The nine-day competition is the brainchild of engagement director Richie Benner. “I am a sports fanatic at heart,” Benner said. He aimed to create a way for residents to enjoy the 2024 Olympic Games while stimulating their minds, spirits and bodies. “It allows them to engage with folks and—you know when you’re smiling and having fun you just feel so much better,” Benner added.For best friends Kitty Crozier, 96, and Shirley Stetson, 89, having fun is the most enjoyable part.
