As we near the end of February, Campus Recreation is reaching one of its busiest times of the semester.
On Wednesday, Feb. 26, Campus Recreation will host a table tennis tournament in Funnelle Hall Lounge at 7 p.m.
The online registration deadline is Tuesday and on-site registration is from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Divisions will consist of men’s singles, women’s singles and open doubles.
Another new event is Campus Recreation’s Border Crossing. The Border Crossing event provides a unique goal for people who are interested in swimming.
Over the course of a month, students will log the distance they swam in Lee Pool. The goal is to cover the distance of Lake Ontario, from Oswego to Canada.
The next round of intramural sports will include 6 v 6 Dodgeball and European Team Handball. The online registration for those sports will be March 4.
On Friday, the Campus Center Ice Arena was host to the Valentine’s Day Open Skate, 150 participants attended the event. On Saturday, Campus Recreation Intramural Sports hosted a doubles and singles racquetball tournament at Laker Hall.
In the doubles tournament, Dan Ulrich and Preston Krieger outlasted Jon McKibbin and Justin D’Antonio in a grueling 22-20 match. Chaskin Saroff and Katie Briggs started strong, but came up short, losing to Zach Sabella and Chris Darr in the semifinals. Krieger and Ulrich’s team chemistry and court presence seemed to give them the upper hand in their 21-16 victory over Darr and Sabella in the finals to become the 2014 racquetball doubles champions.
In the singles tournament, Justin D’Antonio cruised through the field en route to an undefeated record of 5-0. D’Antonio earned his first singles racquetball championship.
