About the Event
The largest 3v3 tournament in the world, Hoopfest takes over downtown Spokane every June with over 25,000 participants and shows off why it’s nickname is “Hooptown USA”. This year, UW was able to send two teams to the wheelchair basketball division – thanks to our generous sponsors Guardian Life Insurance and partners Michigan Adaptive Sports & Fitness.
In their first ever tournament, the University of Washington Wheelchair Basketball team took home the top prize for the Runner Bracket in Spokane.
After going up against Paralympians from Columbia, Canada, Italy and the US, the UW Purple team held their own and earned respect as the new kids on the block. Congratulations to Mick, Keegan and Wyatt for the win and hard-launching UW’s Wheelchair Basketball program!
