Tyler Penn at World Paralympic Games

From Stuart Kaufman, Sports Information:

Just over 1,250 freshmen enrolled at Keene State College this fall, and many of these students brought to campus a special athletic talent that provides them the unique opportunity to play varsity sports.

Tyler Penn will never play soccer on the Keene State men’s soccer team, but few will argue that the freshman from Manchester, N.H., doesn’t possess a varsity player’s drive and determination to excel in the sport. Born with cerebral palsy, a term used to describe a group of chronic conditions affecting body movements and muscle coordination, Tyler subscribes to the theory that he can do anything he sets his mind on doing.

Penn is currently fulfilling one of his goals as a member of the U.S. Paralympic soccer team. He is spending two weeks playing at the World Paralympic Games in Amsterdam (read more here).
