Teams set for Big Cat Challenge

This evening, after today's practice, the Tigers will kick off the Big Cat Team Competition.  Last night, captains Nick Pappas, Kevin Jackson, Will Keiser, Eric Binder, Ben Klimesh and Andrew Lawson met with the coaching staff and held a draft.  This group of competitors finished top 6 in the individual Big Cat competition, minus Dom Robusto of course who decided not to compete in the team events and allowing himself to recover from a hamstring tweak.

Each of the first 5 events will all be timed and accumulated before the final Obstacle Course Event.  The cumulative timee in these events will decide where each team starts on the final day.  For example, if team A compiles a total time in the first 5 events of 20 minutes and team B's total time if 21 minutes, team A have a 1 minute head start in the obstacle course and team B will have to make that time up over the course of the event and finish before team A.

Today's event is the Plate Carry Relay.  In this competition, players will be required to carry a 45 lb. plate in each hand and sprint up and back the turf intramural practice field in a relay style until each member of the team has completed the run.
