SPECIAL OLYMPIAN OF THE MONTH: Ivan Diffenderfer

This month’s honoree is Ivan Diffenderfer, who is a standout in bocce ball, floor hockey and tennis. His coach, Sue McHugh, said that Diffenderfer has a “wicked forehand” on the tennis court.

“It’s such an honor to have him on any team,” said McHugh. “He has the best attitude I’ve seen… Ivan gives 110-percent and is so supportive of his teammates. He’s so positive that it makes being a coach a wonderful thing.”
