Although not an official volunteer, Betty Baggett of Hattiesburg, Miss., jumps in to help other volunteers weigh boats quickly Friday afternoon during the first day of the U.S.A. Canoe and Kayak Sprint National Team Trials at Lake Lanier Olympic Park.
A major month of events is underway at the Lake Lanier Olympic Park, starting with the U.S. canoe and kayak team trials that began Friday. And each event requires a variety of volunteers to make sure everything is well-done. But it’s the biggest competition of the three the venue is hosting, the Pan American Championships set for May 19-22, that will require the most volunteers.
