The Seeger Olympics rolled along this Thanksgiving day, as all 5 competitors are in Clinton for the holiday. Brooke called a field- goal- kicking competition, which necessitated a trip down to the Cougar Dome. We played three events down there (the next two chosen by andy & jen). Our warm-ups were a bit embarrassing, but when the competition started, andy started off strong, nailing two of three. Jen & Brooke failed to make the kicks, but tim came up and hit all three. Joel was the last to go. He kicked his first one and it hit the bottom crossbar, and bounced in. His next kick was low and to the left (he took his eye of the ball), then his third one went deep through the uprights. Tim won the event.
Andy picked a punting competition. Joel & Tim literally exactly tied with their first kicks, and they had a punt-off. Tim's kick was impressive, back farther than his first had been, and joel miss-hit his next punt. It almost rolled for the length, but tim won it again and went up by two in the overall game. Jen next selected a cart-wheel competition. Andy actually went over the top, then joel looked very impressive, but flubbed the landing. Brooke opted for a somersault (thus immediately being eliminated), jen then nailed one perfectly & tim kind of did one, sort of. Jen was awarded the win by the distinguished panel of judges, Jim & Emily.
In other news, joel won a MS Solitare match against andy and extended his skunk-y lead. Should be an exciting weekend of events.
