The first one is an Explorers Troupe; this would be a group that would meet every 2 weeks, and plan different types of camping adventures in the area. We would use the MU Outdoor Pursuit Center for lessons on rock climbing, camping in the winter, and other information. The students will
get together, plan their trips, and then we will all go. The next group is a bicycle polo club. This group would meet weekly about learning how to play bicycle polo and playing it as a sport. We would also be modifying bicycles for this purpose, which students would either bring or I would find donations for this. Both of these would be coed and open to all high school students.

The girls won the team championship in dramatic fashion, with the meet coming down to the last event with three teams within 2 points. The girls won 3 out of 4 relays and scored in all but one running event for a solid team effort. The boys made a determined charge to bring home the victory, but fell just short in finishing second. Also scoring in every event but one, the boys had five individual winners and a relay victory for a great overall performance.
