TR will host a strength and endurance contest 8 a.m. March 5 in the campus Fitness Center.
A weigh-in will start the competition to divide the participants, male and female, fairly among their weight classes. The contest will be divided into four categories: squat, bench press, overhand pull-ups and push-ups. Each person will have a scorecard on which judges will tally points based on proper technique with each repetition.
The top four point earners in each weight class will be rewarded.
TR intramural sports director Nick Giovannitti hopes the contest will “promote wellness” and have students engaged with their campus. TR lacks the space for basketball and football opportunities, but Giovannitti plans to utilize the advantage TR does have: top-of-the-line equipment and facilities.
Participants can sign up in the Fitness Center until the morning of the event. All TCC students are welcome.
