Three Times A Charm For Fredette
The East Moriches native played a pivotal role in securing the silver medal at the paralympics. Fredette led his wheelchair rugby team to a victory and now has three silver medals to his name. Fredette is no stranger to winning. He has participated in two World Championships in 2018, and 2022 bringing home a silver and bronze medal and now has participated in three paralympics. His three-peat began in 2016 when he won silver at Rio de Janeiro, then in 2020 in Tokyo he took home a mixed silver and this season he topped off the hat trick in Paris. Fredette's story of courage and perseverance is truly remarkable. He was paralyzed from the chest down when he fell head-first from his dirt bike as a freshman in college. His mother and him watched the documentary "Murderball," when he was in recovery and that inspired him to start playing wheelchair rugby, and the rest they say is history. That history is now a mantle full of trophies.
