Challenge #1: Maryland Soccerplex challenge was this past Saturday, May 8th at 7pm and it was VERY windy!The Challenge was worth a total of 10 points divided into 2 parts.
Part One 40% of the points: The Apprentice style ticket sales for the game. We sold 68 out of 100 tickets and raised a total of $1408. Out of a possible 4 points we got all 4. We took 1st place on part one of the challenge.
Part Two 60% of the points: This part of the challenge was a series of obstacles in the field. We got the stations ahead of time, and selected who would do which station as follows:
- Station 1: throw the ball in - Valerie
- Station 2: pass via a kick the ball to the next player - Saundra
- Station 3: dribble the ball through cones - Molly
- Station 4: kick ball into a mini goal - Robin
- Station 5: take another call and try to score against the Freedom's mascot - Chris
I think we all did well, but it was not enough. We took 3rd place in this part which places us in third overall for the challenge, despite winning the ticket sales. I also think there were several factors that contributed to this and the main one was the WIND. It was the worst I have ever experienced, let alone in the middle of a field. We were all frozen solid before we started, but out on the field we became icicles. But the ticket sales raised money for Jeremy's Run which is our next challenge - a 5k walk/run that will take place on May 31st at 8:30am.
I want to thank all of you for supporting the BLUE Team by purchasing tickets and by coming out to support us. Tonight is a weigh-in. I am feeling pretty good about. I will update later about last week's results (remember, we are a week ahead of what is published in the paper!).
