Question: What is an athletic event taking place on a field? Stumped? Athletic Field Day of course! As we all know, Athletic Field Day is the day where all the students have the awesome opportunity to play fun athletic games at the TPA field. There are many games played, including the classics, tug-o-war, dodgeball, and of course, hungry, hungry hippos. And some of the newer games, like ultimate frisbee and team tennis.

The winning team of Athletic Field Day, was the Avengers. Sophomore Elias Ricken notes that the team just had a “drive to succeed,” which clearly led to success. The Avengers only lost one game and tied another, and since they demonstrated supreme sportsmanship, they took the prize of pizza, crazy bread, and cookies.

The Avengers had a team that was actually smaller than average, resulting in the need for everyone to participate and help win it all. Elias continues, saying that because of “a small team of strong individuals” the team was led to a dominant first place.

Be sure to watch out for next year’s Athletic Field Day and the fun it’ll bring. Maybe your team might just win it all. But remember, the greatest athletic event on a field is always Athletic Field Day.
