Evan Guthrie Law Firm Helps With Special Olympics Event In Charleston, SC

Online, May 20, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Evan Guthrie of the Evan Guthrie Law Firm in Charleston, South Carolina volunteered to help in the South Carolina Special Olympics Mid-Winter Games in Charleston, SC on Saturday March 2nd 2013. The event was sponsored in part by the Young Lawyers Division of the South Carolina Bar as annual event in which attorneys from throughout the state donate their time to take part in such a meaningful event. Attorney Guthrie volunteered for the basketball skills portion of the games held at the McAlister Field House on the campus of the Citadel in Charleston, SC. Mr. Guthrie was a timekeeper for the speed dribble portion of the basket ball skills competition. Attorney Guthrie held a stopwatch and timed how long contestant took to dribble from one set of markers to another set on the basketball court. Each contestant got two runs through the speed dribble portion of the competition with two timed dribbles in each run. Mr. Guthrie kept time for the contestants dribbling and then relayed the time to a score keeper for each group of participants. The time that each contestant had in the speed dribble was scored as each time range had a corresponding point value. Other basketball skills events for the event included a shooting event and passing event. Each group of competitors had their scores tallied at the end and were given a gold, silver, or bronze medal according to their performance.

This was the third year that Mr. Guthrie has participated in the Special Olympics Mid-winter Games. Attorney Guthrie was a scorekeeper for one group of athletes in previous years, but this year he enjoyed being a timekeeper because he was able to interact with several groups of competitors and enjoy their competitive spirit and effort. Mr. Guthrie was joined by his law clerks at Evan Guthrie Law Firm, Ashley Karst and Lauren Wilson of the Charleston School of Law and Kimaya Brown of Charleston Southern University as volunteers for the event. Attorney Guthrie enjoyed the participation of his law clerks and the great number of attorneys from the Charleston, SC area that contributed to make the event a success. Mr. Guthrie looks forward to taking part in the event again in future years to come.
