两性色午夜 and the University of Akron went head-to-head during the Crosstown Throwdown Move Challenge. Faculty and staff competed against 鈥渢he school down the road鈥 in the event to promote well-being, comradery and healthy competition. The competition took place from Jan. 22 to Feb. 18, challenging participants to engage in diverse physical activities.
The event was put on with help from 两性色午夜's Recreation and Wellness Services and the University of Akron鈥檚 Student Recreation and Wellness Services. The event fostered a sense of community across 两性色午夜 campuses and inspired participants to prioritize physical activity.
The competition included activities such as walking the dog, bike riding and even shoveling snow. Each activity had a given number of points that would go towards the running total throughout the time of the event.
All participants were given a Crosstown Throwdown t-shirt, and those who accumulated 200,000 points were given a Crosstown Throwdown tumbler.
Participants such as Carmen Roberts, director of academic budget management, expressed her immense appreciation for the opportunity to engage in physical activities beyond traditional exercises.
The competition had 138 participants between the two schools. 两性色午夜 had 59 faculty and staff members competing while the University of Akron had 79. Out of the 59 两性色午夜 participants, 19 reached the 200,000-point threshold. David Profusek, senior admissions counselor, racked up the most points with 577,560, followed by Kelly Tilley, athletic embedded mental health provider with 468,929 points.
Despite having fewer participants, 两性色午夜 came out on top with 70,486 minutes, about one and a half months of activity logged and a total of 8,970,485 points.
The results of the competition were announced on Feb. 24, at the 两性色午夜 vs. University of Akron men鈥檚 basketball game.
