First ever Greyhound Games to occur tomorrow afternoon

By: Tian Yang <tyang@hilite.org>

Greyhound Games will be tomorrow from 1 to 5 p.m. Check-in will be from 1 to 1:15 at the parking lot next to the natatorium.

According to House sponsor Katie Overbeck, the games will consist of teams of five people. The teams will compete in 12 different competitions for prizes.

“The games were modeled after the trike races where each team has a costume and theme,” she said.

The competitions range from the traditional to more inventive races. They include events such as a pumpkin launch, eating contest, scooter relay and a marshmellow chew.

Senior Michael Clark is the House cabinet member in charge of the relay race. He said he is excited for the games tomorrow. He said House has spent around 20 solid hours planning for the games.

“I cannot wait. It’s going to be crazy,” he said. Yet Clark said there is one slight concern for the games.

“The only thing were worried about is rain, but if it comes, it’ll make it a lot more fun,” he said. “We’ll get to do it in the mud.”

For questions regarding House, students should see Overbeck during SRT in room E116 or find a House member.
