The team dives into some delicious food from Salerno's!Once dinner was finished Team 1 was announced as the winners of the scavenger hunt. Team members Maddie McKaig, Margaret Klein, Alex Van Horn, Katie Lotterman, Sammy Yates, and Cara Mulligan all received one "get out of conditioning free" card to be used this fall.
We were even lucky enough to have our field hockey players join us for our team dinner!
Later in the weekend the whole team got together again, but this time they were joined by all of the other athletes on campus as well. Senior captains Lauren Acker and Christina Benedetti were both part of the organization of the "23 All-Athlete Tug of War" that happened on Sunday night at Wilson Field under the lights.
Bene manning the tug of war bracket."23", chosen for the 23 varsity teams on campus, is an organization on campus working towards the goal of creating a community of athletes at W&L. The hope is that as all of the athletes get to know each other better they will be more likely to come out and support each other at home events.
Some laxers get excited in an early round of tug of war.As the student athletes arrived they were each given a t-shirt and a 23 wristband. Each wristband was a different color representing the tug of war team that each athlete would join in the competition. There were laxers on every team mixing in with tennis, basketball, field hockey, soccer, and every other W&L athlete all over Wilson Field.
Olive and Mere get ready for one of the later rounds with the eventual champion red team!All in all, it was a great night to see all the Generals out enjoying some competition and ice pops early in the fall. The laxers will be out later this week to support the field hockey team on Friday night as they take on Bridgewater. Go Generals!
Visit the blog next week to see the team supporting their hockey teammates and supporting a great local cause!
