Jundt Family: 3 local siblings prepare for International Wheelchair and Amputee Games

Lucas, Emma and Joshua, all three from the Jundt family, are headed to Portugal in November for the International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation World Games. "I'm going to compete in the 100, 400, 800, and 1,500, and I'm very excited," Emma Jundt says. "Very, very pumped," Joshua Jundt says. "It's just like, I've never been out of the country for a sports event before. It's like, very, very exciting. And it's in Portugal, so it's even better." "Train my butt off and try to get to Portugal," Lucas says. "And hopefully end the season off with a good note by getting better times than I ended with Junior Nationals." "All three of them are working on different aspects," Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Track and Field Coach Randy Housner says. "Emma primarily in the wheelchair races, Lucas on the sprints and long jump, and Joshua for powerlifting." The Jundt family is just three of 30 athletes from the United States headed overseas.
