What a great day we had yesterday.
There were physical activities happening in every corner of the
vessel.
At 1300, the annual heaving line contest
took place on the basketball deck. It was won in style by 4th Class
Eric Eaton who not only hit the backboard to win, but sank it into
the basket. 4th class Matt Picket and Sam Holbrook took second and
third place. A clean sweep for the 4th class.
At 1400, the MMA weight lifting club
conducted a physical fitness competition, which consisted of 8
activity stations; station 1 required 10 pull-ups, station 2 - 50
sit-ups,
station 3 - 50 pull-ups, station 4 - bicycle aerobic leg exercises,
station 5 - 50 push-ups, station 6 - 50 over-head presses with 25&30lb.
weights, station 7 - squats, station 8 - 10 pull-ups. This competition
was organized by the members of the weight lifting club, which is in
it's second year of existence at MMA. It has 25 active members. Jack
Welsh is the current president. Sean Poulin and Nick Starboard are
also active officers in the club.
The winners of this years competition was
Sean Poulin and Rashad Newton. Great job; the winning time was 9
min.10 sec.
The finals in the basketball tournament was
quite a battle. I'm not sure who's rules they were following, but
there was a lot of desire and adrenalin flowing on the basketball
court. The competition started at 1800, and it was a battle to the
end.
This year's winners were "Slippery When
Wet," which consists of Trepp, Farin, Cullen, and Stewart. Great
game.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when it
ended because no one got hurt.
After everything was said and done, the day
ended on a high note with another fabulous cookout and a well
deserved night of sleep. Thanks to all who participated and helped
sponsor the events; it was a great day.
