Sports Medicine & RLA host Wii Sports night

Bowling pins, golf clubs and tennis rackets went head-to-head when RLA and Sports Medicine club came together to offer a Wii Sports competition Tuesday night in the Hub. 

The competition consisted of all Wii sporting events from archery to hang gliding. Students were able to compete for two grand prizes of an Echo Dot or Wii console. 

Pizza and soda were provided for refreshments. Over 50 students attended to play. 

Brittany Soukup, 21, senior of O’Neil, said Sports Medicine club wanted to bring people together for fun and get exercise for the day.

“We tried to think of a fun event to bring people together across campus,” Soukup said.

Students were given a raffle ticket at the door for raffle prizes. Chances for the grand prize increased with every Wii game won. 

For some students, Wii sports was a trip back into their childhood. 

“I would say Wii sports is not as popular as is used to be when it came out when we were in middle school, but it is still fun to play.” Soukup said. 

RLA is continuing the fun next week with Waffle Day on Monday and The Tower of Power, a competition that has games on every floor of High Rise, 6 p.m. Tuesday.
