Jennie Crabbe

"Since joining Special Olympics Missouri, Jennie has become a passionate SOMO athlete, competing in bowling, basketball, powerlifting, track and field, softball, bocce, flag football, and soccer. Even more impressive, she hasn’t missed a single area, regional, or state event in the last six years!

Beyond sports, Jennie volunteers at fundraisers, supports SOMO staff, and participates in Athlete Leadership Programs (ALPs). As a spokesperson for the Southwest Area programs, she shares her story to inspire others to join the movement.

For Jennie, SOMO is more than just competition—it’s a community that keeps her strong, active, and surrounded by lifelong friends. Her dedication and leadership show what it truly means to be a Special Olympics athlete."
