Current Entry: Wacky Decathlon
This semi-athletic challenge was introduced for Winter Camp X as a way to combine several stunts onto the agenda. While "Wacky Decathlon" was the assigned name, only six events were held, and Arrowmen were formed into two-man teams for the contest. The Balloon Relay, Balloon Stomp, and Bozo Game (borrowed from the popular children's TV show, it involved rolling a pingpong ball off a table in an attempt to score points by landing it in one of variously separated containers) were all won by Chris Macionski and Lyle Millard as they coasted to a 22-point victory. By far the most exciting game, however, was the Card In The Box event. The object of the game was to toss football cards into a box from about ten feet away, a quest that proved most challenging. Mark Bollman--> and Doug Wilson took top honors in the first round, but to decide second place required octuple overtime between the teams of Ron & Steve Donohue and Scott Fults & Doug Seman. The Donohue brothers finally eked out a silver-medal victory.
