This year’s Junior-Senior Sports Day took place on Tuesday, and the seniors once again pulled out a close win over the energized Class of 2012.
The annual event brought in over 200 juniors and seniors to participate in the one hour activity. Several athletic contests were held, and pizza was served afterwards.
The event began with Mr. Sill firing up both classes with a spirit yell. The Class of 2012 was awarded points for the louder cheer. The juniors continued their strong start with a victory in the Push-Up Contest. Just as the junior class began to gain some momentum, the seniors began to fight back. They took the Mummy Wrap, the Wheelbarrow Race, and the Three-Legged Race to quickly put pressure on the juniors. Unwilling to back down, the tough juniors fired back with a compelling victory in the first game of Dodgeball. After that, the Class of 2011 seemed to put it out of reach with impressive wins in the second and third rounds of Dodgeball and a completely one-sided sweep of the girl’s and boy’s Tug of War. However, the juniors finished the way they started, taking the Dance-Off in dominant fashion.
Despite this small slimmer of hope for the junior class, it wasn’t enough to pull out the upset. At the close of the final event, Mr. Sill announced the winner, “by knockout,” as he phrased it, to be the seniors. The senior class, no matter how narrowly, retained their bragging rights over the juniors, but it is safe to say that next year’s juniors will have big shoes to fill once they enter the competition.
