The 4th Annual President’s Cup was held at the courtyard during the 48th Annual UOG Charter Day, Mar. 8, 2016. The President’s Cup is a series of competitive sports activities.

The first President’s Cup began four years ago, for the purpose of bringing students to collaborate in teamwork. Last month, students have been competing in nine out of the 10 President’s Cup events, such as dodgeball, a 5K run, basketball, badminton, ping pong, volleyball, tug of war, wildcard, and ROTC Enhanced Skills trainer (EST).

 The Triton Challenge was the final event of the President’s Cup and all of the teams played their hearts out. The Triton Challenge is a series of relay races such as bat spin, coconut relay, slip and slide and more.

 Even though it was a competition, the teams had fun. Mike Santos, a senior biology major, and team member of the “Biohazards,” shared his thoughts about the Triton Challenge.

 While doing the bat spin, Santos and the rest of “Biohazards” team had to concentrate on keeping their balance in order to advance to the next relay game. It was their teamwork that kept them focused.

 “The Biohazards showed the best in teamwork,” Santos said.

Slip and slide was the “Biohazards’” favorite part of the Triton Challenge because Charter Day.
