LFHS Graphic Design Student Creates
Paratriathlon Club "Dare2Tri" Logo April E-Highlights 2011

This winter, GLASA (the Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Assoc.) paired up with the Chicago Park District and the Chicago Triathlon Club to form a Chicago-area paratriathlon club (Tri club for individuals with physical disabilities).  Paratriathlon was recently approved as a sport in the 2016 Rio de Janiero Olympic Games. 

The local club is called "Dare2Tri", and is headed by Keri Schindler from GLASA.  Schinder, whom we've worked with on the Wheelchair Sports USA Project and National Junior Disability Championships over the past two years, is a triathlete herself.  Specifically, the LFHS Graphic Design 3 students each submitted three logos based on the client's brief.  Ciara Connell's  (soph.) logo was chosen after two rounds of eliminations.  Here is what Schindler has to say about the logo:

"GLASA and Dare2tri are thrilled to be working with the talented graphic design students at Lake Forest HS for our logo design again.  The students, under the direction of Carolyn Bielski, turned out wonderful choices for us to pick our club logo from.  We are so appreciative of the partnership we have with Lake Forest HS and look forward to working with you again in the future.  Dare2tri is thrilled to have our amazing new logo displayed on our website and facebook page and look forward to having it printed on our team uniforms and shirts.”
