On Thursday January 27th, members showed their Track & Field skills during Indoor Olympics in the Games Room. Over 20 members competed in the shot put, javelin, standing long jump and discus. As fun as it would have been to attempt the actual games, the dangers of the sports outweighed the entertainment. Therefore, we replaced shot put with a cotton ball, the javelin with a straw and the discus with a paper plate. The gold medal winner Arthur Gutierrez took the lead with 10 points in front of silver medalist Salar Azarli scoring 12 points, while Ernesto Lopez claimed the bronze medal with 13 points. All members performed fabulously and will have their chance to compete again next month. READ MORE
