Chris Nikic made history as the first person with Down Syndrome to complete an Ironman Triathlon and all six Global Marathon Majors. His remarkable journey is built on the mindset of getting 1% better every day—a belief that resonates deeply with our district’s vision of being Better Every Day.
This powerful connection reminds us that progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about small, intentional steps that lead to extraordinary outcomes. Chris and Nik’s story is a living testament to what’s possible when we commit to growth, resilience, and the people around us.
We hope you’ll make plans to join us for this impactful evening as we continue our shared journey to become Better Every Day—together.
