2017 Bluffton Olympics - The Witmarsum

RA Takayla enjoys a trip down the Slip N’ Slide!

Even when the Olympics ended, the fun wasn’t over! Students slid down a very soapy and slippery Slip N’ Slide in front of Bren-Dell Hall!

At the finish of the Bluffton Olympics, The Wit interviewed the winning team, The Red Team! RA Cody and a couple other team members comment on what being a part of the Bluffton Olympics was like, and how good victory felt.

Purple Team working hard at ensuring their cheeseballs stick!

Navy Blue team successfully sticks well over 30 cheeseballs on their RA’s face!

In this challenge, one staff member from each team completely covers their face in shaving cream. The entire team stands three yards away and has three minutes to throw as many cheeseballs at their RA’s face as they can! Whichever team gets the most cheeseballs to stick, wins!

RA Travis carefully balances the heavy bucket full of water to ensure it doesn’t spill, which would ultimately lead in the loss of points.

RA Quincy gets a small bath after his resident douses him in water, completely missing the bucket.

In this particular challenge, students must quickly and carefully fill a bowl with water from a bucket and carry it fifteen yards to their RA who is waiting at the other end with a bucket on their stomach. The first team to fill up the bucket on the RA’s stomach with water wins!

With every challenge comes difficulties. Carefully and skillfully crawling under a human “bridge” is definitely one of them!

Light Blue Team cheers on their teammate as she races around the “tree” to make it back quickly!

The Light Grey/Camo team competitively soars through the challenge of “Rock, Bridge, Tree!”

The Orange Team races through a fierce challenge called “Rock, Bridge, Tree!” against other teams. The object of the game is to step over the “rock”, crawl under the “bridge”, and circle around the “tree” without dropping the golf ball balancing on a spoon carried by the student.
