PUNT, PASS
& KICK
The IM Punt, Pass & Kick Con
test was held Thursday, Octo
ber 27 at 6:00 p.m. on the Pen-
berthy Intramural Complex.
This special event tested the
16 participant’s strength and
accuracy. Each contestant had
to punt, pass and kick a football
as far as possible within a
straight line. If the ball went off
course, this distance was sub
tracted from their total yar
dage.
So, without further ado, here
are the winners of this year’s
contest. In the men’s division
first place went to Jett Johnson
with 130 total yards. Pat McMil
lan came in second with 126
yards.
Janet Braly who total 91 yards
became the winner of the
women’s competition. The
second place title went to
Charlotte Wilson with 61 total
yards.
Congratulations to our win
ners, who received Intramural
Championship t-shirts, and we
hope to see all of you again
next year.
The 1983 IM Fun Run got off to a great start on Saturday, November 5,
