Taking the “plunge” in support of Special Olympics South Dakota are “Super Dad” Matt Yonkers and his daughter, Iea, 8, from Aurora. They joined 20 other participants in the annual Polar Plunge on March 14 at Hillcrest Elementary School that brought local law enforcement and community members from across the Brookings area in support of Special Olympics.

This year’s theme was “Super Heroes.” A team of five South Dakota Army National Guard soldiers from Engineering Company 211 were among those who jumped into the 40-degree water in the “Plungster,” a custom-built mobile plunge pool trailer designed for such Special Olympics events as this one and being used on March 14 at Hillcrest Elementary School for the first time.
