Ciara Felix – Loveland, Colorado … The Men’s Club hosted its annual Ironman contest at Campion Academy where students competed in a variety of athletic activities on February 25. The competition consisted of many endeavors such as an obstacle course, push-ups, jousting, dunking, chugging, and rope climbing.
This year, boys and girls competed in separate categories after which Dean Gann and Dean Dubini presented the top winners with trophies.
The first-place winner of the boy’s competition was sophomore Rodolfo Segawa. Second place was taken by Dominic White, a junior, and third place was Sergio Enriquez, a freshman.
The first-place winner of the girl’s competition was Julia Da Silva, a junior; the second-place winner was Jovanna Maldonado, a junior; and third place was Aurelie Gschoepf, a sophomore.
Everyone who participated in the competition received a medal and those who placed in individual events received a sweet treat.
One of this year’s contestants, Damaris Lopez-Morquecho, reflected, “The funniest part was where you had to spin around with a bat on your forehead for 10 seconds because Ekenna, one of the men’s club organizers, counted slowly so people would get really dizzy and fall. Also, the rope climb was intimidating, but fun.”
This year’s reigning Ironman, Rodolfo Segawa, concluded, “All of the activities were fun, and I really enjoyed being able to participate in this event and win.”
