To close out the fall season, Michigan
Lacrosse took a different approach to its final scheduled
practice. Instead of running laps in Oosterbaan Fieldhouse,
the team got their cardio in while participating in a
scavenger hunt that required groups to complete tasks while
running to various locations around campus.
Highlights from the assignment list
included campus classics such as spinning the 2,400 lb cube
between the Michigan Union and Student Activities Building
and doing backwards lunges across the Diag. Point values
were assigned to each task based on its difficulty.
Teams earned five points for taking a
picture inside a restaurant kitchen, in a bathtub, inside
the library, or posing with a men's lacrosse player. More
difficult (read: embarrassing) tasks netted twenty points
and included performing the "Little Sally Walker" dance
inside of a fraternity and sword-fighting with day-old bread
at Jimmy Johns. (See
complete list).
In a contest that was decided on a
technicality, the group of Amy Johnson, Jess Stanley, Jenna
Weinberg, Ashley Felber, Hillary Handelsman, and Maddie
Sullivan won with 180 points. Britt Boehm, Holly Roberts,
Claire Gadra , Emmy Scheidt, and Melissa Oddo also finished
with 180 points but were disqualified for taking advantage
of the great bus system run by the University of Michigan.
While the scavenger hunt was designed
to encourage team bonding while providing a physical
workout, there was much more at stake with this competitive
group. "It's always nice to be part of a winning team,
especially when bragging rights are on the line for an
entire year," said Senior Amy Johnson. "Our keys to victory
- besides sheer determination - had to be roommates who
would take pictures of us in a bathtub without asking
questions and Jenna having friends sitting in the Diag to
videotape us doing backwards lunges."
"Oh - and not cheating and taking the
bus..."
As for a team MVP? That award goes to
Freshman Maddie Sullivan as nominated by her teammates for
her unforgettable rendition of the Little Sally Walker
Dance.
