Elon was well represented this past weekend at Campbell University, as our Coed Champion in Flag Football claimed the title as the “Best Coed Flag Football Team in North Carolina.” The team, named I Feel Like a Paganini, went undefeated at Elon this year and earned to opportunity to compete in the state tournament amongst the best teams from each school in North Carolina.

After winning all of their pool play games, they were the #1 seed for the single elimination bracket play. Despite losing their starting center Kelly Fawcett to an injury in pool play, they won the championship game by a score of 27-10 against the CU Fighting Camels. In the championship game, they scored the first two touchdowns when Captain and Quaterback Josiah Jodrey connected on two deep passes to Baxter Bruggeworth. The other scores were an interception that Josiah returned for a Touchdown and a late game drive that resulted in a 20 yard Touchdown pass to Lauren Duncan to seal the victory. Josiah Jodrey received the Tournament MVP award as well as being voted to the All-Tournament Team.

The team now has the opporunity to compete at the Regional Tournament Nov. 7-9, at UNC-Wimington. The roster is made up of:

Josiah Jodrey
Kelly Fawcett
Greg Fulcher
Baxter Bruggeworth

Adventures in Leadership visits West Virginia

bmaccallum — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 12:20:00 +0000

A tradition that has spanned two decades continued this year when students in the Adventures in Leadership Program traveled to West Viriginia in late June. This First-Year Summer Experience is sponsored by Campus Recreation and the Center for Leadership and is offered twice over two weeks and allows for 32 students each week to partake in the adventure.

The groups spend the first night on campus and are divided into specific small groups that they will be with for the remainder of the trip. The next morning, the small groups go through the Elon Challenge Course and develop leadership and communication skills through various elements such as the Trust Fall. Then it is off to West Virignia to go rock climbing, rappeling and hiking the first day along with cooking their own meal that night.

All of the participants from Week 1 at the Brunch Banquet

The next two days are spent on the New River whitewater rafting and camping overnight. This year the water level was higher than usual so all of the participants were able to experience Class IV and V rapids. The participants spend their last night back on campus and enjoy the last group activities which includes time for team and self-reflection. The next morning features a brunch and a fun, casual awards banquet in which the groups conduct skits and are nominated for superlatives.

This year the student faciliators who led the groups were Caila Yates, Claire Rayburn, Kristen McGee, Abbie Dalton, Colin Langham, Ryan Gill, Ben Bridges and Alex McLellan. The student coordinator who supervised the participants and facilitators was Michelle Stocker. The faculty/staff advisers for the trip were Carol Smith, Wally Bixby, Stacey Rusterholz and Brandon MacCallum.
