Student teams assembled on Elon’s soggy intramural fields and competed in various grueling athletic challenges contending for the title of 2008 Sportsfest Champions Friday.
The co-ed teams of ten faced their competitors in tests of strength, accuracy, coordination and cooperation under the beating sun Friday afternoon – after the threat of rain subsided -and persevered into late evening under the lights.
Team Work proved victorious and took home the coveted title of 2008 Sportsfest Champions.
Team Red Hot, comprised mostly of orientation leaders, secured second place – with the help of a lot of spirit points said team member Becca Bender, a junior.
The Fighting Squirrels came in third. The team of Billy House residents won the flag football bracket for the second year in a row.
Competitors gather to watch the 4-on-4 volleyball matches.
The events included:
- 10-on-10 Tug-of-War
- 1-on-1 Putting
- 1-on-1 Jenga
- 2-on-2 Bocce
- 2-on-2 Home Run Derby
- 2-on-2 Cornhole
- 4-on-4 Flag Football
- 4-on-4 Volleyball
- and 6-on-6 Dodgeball
All competitors took home a souvenir shirt courtesy of Campus Rec, encouraging participants to “choose not to lose.”
