Flying down a snow-covered hill on a bright orange toboggan, sophomore Grant Kilpatrick sleds during his Competitive Sports and Games class Feb. 18. Due to the snowstorm earlier in the week, physical education teacher Tommie Rowe brought the students outside to sled for half the class period. “When Coach Rowe first told us we were going to get to go sledding, I was surprised because that's not something that I would think of doing during a class,” Kilpatrick said. “After my first few times going down the hill, normally I tried going down while standing. I tried this several times, but only getting about halfway down the hill before falling and rolling down the rest of the way. The funniest part about sledding for me was [when] we would lose control and the sled would flip. [My favorite moment was] just being able to try doing different things and have time to laugh and interact with classmates.”

Sipp had to run through a variety of weather conditions, but still got first female in the race.  “My feet were freezing, as I had just run through 6 inches of standing lake water,” Sipp said. “These race conditions were 45 degrees and 17 mph winds in my face, although I didn’t mind the freezing water too much–it made for a good story later.”
