ELLICOTT CITY, Md. — On August 8th through the 14th, Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans competed in the 2022 Maryland Senior Olympics Mixed Doubles Pickleball Tournament in Ellicott City, Maryland.
Alongside his partner, Sue Scaduto, they captured the bronze medal in the 55-59 age class division and qualified for the National Senior Olympics in 2023.
“It is rewarding”, Sheriff Evans said. “I have been involved in the sport for so long and it feels good to have gotten this far with my partner in the tournament. I’m in a younger age category, but it is a good feeling regardless.”
For those who might not know, the Maryland Senior Olympics is a non-profit organization that helps senior citizens to stay active and competitive.

The MSO features over 100 different sporting events for athletes to compete in.
