MICDS holds dinner to recognize Cancer survivor Eric Shanteau
Over the weekend of Sept. 23, MICDS will host Springfield Kickapoo, Springfield Glendale, and Lindbergh High School in four-way swim meet. Prior to the action in the pool, the Rams host a dinner on Friday night in the MICDS dining hall to honor the 2008 Olympian Eric Shanteau.
Shanteau was able to delay testicular cancer surgery to participate in the Olympic games. He was a 200 meter breast stroke champion. These days, he is spending his time advocating for Cancer awareness in young adults.
