Junior Danny Placette won the gold medal at the Special Olympics State track meet two years in a row.

Junior Danny Placette is a proud member of LCM Team Force and enjoys running track, playing basketball, and bowling as part of the Special Olympics team. In his free time, he enjoys riding his dirt bike, working on his truck, riding his bicycle, and getting on Facebook.

One of Placette’s proudest accomplishments is that he won the gold medal at the Special Olympics State track meet two years in a row. He looks up to his dad because he teaches him how to drive, provides him with the things he needs, and helps him whenever he needs it.

Three things that are important to Placette are his boots, fried chicken, and his dirt bike. His favorite quote is, “If you ain’t first, you’re last!” and he enjoys watching “Street Outlaws” and the movie “Max.”

If Placette could travel anywhere in the world, he would go to Montana to live in a barndominium. He would also be a “filthy rich mechanic” and in his free time, he would hike and ride his dirt bike through the mountains.
