Governor Jim Pillen is urging Nebraska student-athletes aged 14 to 17 to apply for the 2026 Patriot Games, a national competition sponsored by The White House. The deadline for applications is this Friday.
The Patriot Games are being held in honor of America's 250th birthday, providing a unique opportunity for young Nebraskans to participate in a significant national event. Governor Pillen's encouragement highlights the state's support for youth involvement in such prestigious competitions.
This initiative aims to celebrate the nation's quarter-millennium milestone by engaging the next generation of athletes from across the country.
