Everyone at ViaQuest is celebrating an incredible achievement as Liam Price brought home multiple medals from the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Liam, who works with ViaQuest Community Solutions Behavior Consultant Ruth Asher-Lynch, continues to inspire those around him through his determination, resilience, and unwavering positive attitude. His journey reflects the power of perseverance and serves as a reminder of what can be accomplished through dedication and hard work.
Last year, ViaQuest had the privilege of recognizing Liam’s accomplishments during the 2025 ViaQuest Conference. Watching him continue to achieve success on the national stage has been an exciting and proud moment for everyone who knows him.
Liam’s Outstanding Powerlifting Performance
Competing in Special Olympics powerlifting, Liam faced an added challenge by moving into both a heavier weight class and an older age division. Despite the increased competition, he delivered an exceptional performance, earning:
- Gold Medal – Deadlift (507 pounds)
- Silver Medal – Squat (435 pounds)
- Bronze Medal – Bench Press (248 pounds)
- Overall Silver Medalist in his division
These impressive accomplishments are a testament not only to Liam’s physical strength but also to the dedication and determination that have fueled his success.
Representing the Spirit of Special Olympics
While the medals are remarkable, Liam’s impact reaches far beyond the competition platform.
During an interview with ESPN at the Games, Liam shared an inspiring message that perfectly captures the spirit of the Special Olympics movement:
“We are here for a reason, to show what Special Olympics USA athletes are capable of achieving.”
His words serve as a powerful reminder that the Special Olympics is about celebrating ability, determination, inclusion, and the extraordinary potential within every athlete.
Congratulations, Liam!
At ViaQuest, we believe in celebrating the achievements of the people we support, and Liam’s success is one that deserves to be recognized.
