USA Games Athlete Spotlight: Randall Dunn

Hometown: Topeka
Sport: Soccer

Randall “PRIMETIME” Dunn is proof that determination, heart, and belief in yourself can overcome anything.

In his first year with Special Olympics, Randall has already experienced life-changing growth. Through soccer, he’s built meaningful friendships and found a community that shares his passion for sports, teamwork, and camaraderie. For Randall, this opportunity is something truly special—one he knows not everyone gets to experience.

Randall’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. Born with a brain injury and cerebral palsy, he has spent his life proving that his diagnosis does not define his potential. Once doubted by many, Randall has defied expectations—learning to walk, talk, compete in sports, and even become a confident public speaker. Today, one of his greatest strengths is exceeding expectations and inspiring others along the way.

He takes the most pride in helping others succeed, whether that’s supporting teammates or motivating those watching from the sidelines. His accomplishments go far beyond the field—he’s an honor roll student at Washburn Rural High School, a former football champion, a student leader, and even co-hosted a school YouTube show. He’s also passionate about giving back, volunteering with organizations like Meals on Wheels and Harvesters.

Now, Randall is preparing to represent Kansas at the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, an opportunity he calls a true honor. To him, it means being seen, valued, and recognized for his hard work, athleticism, and dedication.

As he trains—whether on the field, with his team, or even in his living room—Randall is focused on becoming the best version of himself. He’s excited to meet athletes from across the country and embrace every moment of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

With his drive, positivity, and “PRIMETIME” mindset, Randall isn’t just competing—he’s inspiring everyone around him.

In June, Team Kansas will represent our state at the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games — competing against thousands of athletes from across the country. For many, it’s the biggest moment of their athletic career.

But here’s the reality: getting our team to Minnesota doesn’t happen without serious community support. Travel, uniforms, equipment, meals, and competition fees add up fast. Every dollar raised goes directly toward making sure our athletes can focus on one thing — competing their hearts out.
