The 3rd Annual West Campus Hall Olympics
My take on this year’s event
The Hall Olympics were created as a way to promote floor/building/area pride in the spring of 2008 among the residents of the west campus Freshman Experience program.
The residents of Glenn & Towers have their “Battle for the quad” which has been running for at least 4 years now, however this is a PL organized event and involved only sporting competitions in a tournament setting.
The Hall Olympics is supposed to be so much more. In the first annual event we combined many ideas to create a “carnival like” with a variety of FREE food (grilled food, cotton candy, popcorn, etc) and a bragging rights contest to go along with it. The success of the first Hall Olympics was beyond what most expected from a freshman Hall Council.
This year’s Hall Olympics will follow in the tradition of the past two tournaments to crown a Hall as the “best of the west” (Fitten [FFM] won the 1st year and I believe Caldwell [FCA] won last year). I’m sure our floor, 2nd Fitten, will put on and the trophy will be back in the hands of the original residence hall.
I’ll try to do my part to go to both this event AND the T-Day game (more on that later) since they have both been scheduled for the same time.
