Argust Relays Highlight Last Week Before Break

After several weeks of training and conditioning, the Utes are looking forward to spring break next week. However, before the rest begins, conditioning coach Greg Argust set up the 1st Annual Spring Break Conditioning Relays...Held this morning...they have become affectionately known as the Argust Relays.

Captains Kelly Isleib and Emalee Rogers picked teams to start the proceedings. There were 5 events and the losing team would have to run "gassers" as well as clean up after ward!


Team Isleib: Captain Kelly Isleib, Lauren Hair, Chelsea Forbes, Lauren Porter, Shay Kennedy, Nicole Cardon, Kellie Woodfield, Christine Quinn

Team Rogers: Captain Emalee Rogers, Erin Dalley, Hannah Turpen, Morgan Skeen, Anne Shallenberger, Katie Martinez, Mallory Mitamura, Lauren Dudley

Injured: Jen Christoffers


1st Event: Medicine Ball Relay - Team Isleib Runs Away with it Running 25 yards and back with a heavy medicine ball...and Team Isleib quickly took a 1-0 lead. See the action below




2nd Event: Sliding the Plank Relay - Team Isleib Goes Up 2-0
Pushing a plank board over 50 yards seemed to favor the smaller Team Isleib...some of the taller players had a hard time with "staying low".

















3rd Event: Bag Relay - Team Rogers on the Comeback in a Killer Event
Okay, the height paid off in the next event...admittedly a tough one, especially on the quads...Team Rogers was able to pull the heavy bags and fought back to make it 2-1...Check it out below...NOT EASY!



See the agony as Hannah Turpen and Erin Dalley try to recover from the Bag Pull!




Event 4: Farmer's Walk - Team Isleib Clinches the Title
Pulling two heavy plates over 50 yards...very difficult on the hands and fingers...walking fast (no running allowed)...and Team Isleib won a close race to clinch the best of 5 title...



















Event 5: Tug of War - Team Rogers Shows Some Pride
Already faced with the task of running "gassers", Team Rogers showed some pride by taking the Tug of War to make the final talley 3-2....It seems the Team Isleib, with the title already in hand was unable to push through the pain much....and didn't show the killer instinct. See the action below!
