Good sportsmanship was evident all around as teams cheered each other on and had a fun time on the track carrying a stuffed monkey, light saber, toilet seat, sledge hammer, giant stuffed fish and other such items. After a stretch of 3 meets over 6 days, this was a fun way to go into a few days off from competing.
