3rd Annual Intramural Tournament 9-22-12
What a great turnout this year . . . Twice as many competitors (36) and twice the number of events! In all 56 medals were earned by the competitors. Even with double amount of competitors, everyone listened and was where they should had been and we got through the tournament in 2 hours! That’s fantastic. It was an
enjoyable morning and many students got their first taste of what a tournament is like.
Looking forward to next year!!
