Special Events/Programs Faculty/Staff/Alumni Golf Scramble The Intramural and Recreational Sports Department sponsored the 22nd Annual Faculty/Staff Golf Scramble, which was held on Friday, June 14th at Nevel Meade Golf Club. This event brought together 100 golfers from the university community consisting of faculty, staff, retirees, spouses, alumni, and vendors. The teams were requested or chosen according to their handicap or average score. Everyone who participated received a round of golf with cart, an excellent breakfast and lunch from Sodexo Dining Services, dozen golf balls and a chance to win team prizes, individual skill competition prizes, and a $200 skins game. The weather was outstanding which always plays a vital role in the tremendous success of the event. Currently, the Intramural Sports Staff and Golf committee is coordinating the 23rd Annual Golf Scramble to be held at Quail Chase Golf Club on Friday, June 13, 2014. This annual golf event has provided a great opportunity for the Department of Intramural Sport to give something back to the university faculty/staff community. Project Graduation Project Graduation is one of the best outreach programs that our department is involved with. For the past fifteen years we have provided the recreation space in the Student Activities Center for post-graduation celebrations. Parent group from Male High Schools, coordinate activities and provides food and door prizes for the graduating seniors. Project Graduation provides a safe alternative to the alcohol-related parties normally associated with high school graduation. This past year the Department of Intramural sports hosted the Male High School Project Graduation lock-in. The evening event brought over 320 graduates to campus. Their parent committee did an excellent job in assisting with the evening activities. Most students arrived around 11:00 p.m. and left around 5:00 a.m. Currently, we are planning on hosting Male High School on June 7, 2014 in the new SRC Recreational Center. NCA/UCA Cheerleading and Dance Camps The Intramural and Recreational Sports Department, for the last 21 years, has hosted Cheerleading and Dance camps for the National Cheerleading Association (NCA). These camps are well-attended and the organizers are extremely pleased with how they are accommodated at U of L within our recreational facilities. This past year we hosted three NCA Camps (one NCA Dance Camp, one youth NCA Cheer Camp, and one College Camp for Cheer, Dance, and Mascots). The NCA camp brought over a 1000 campers to campus. Currently, the department is negotiating an agreement with both NCA Cheer & Dance and the University Athletic Department for four summer camps to be held in the new SRC Recreational Center starting July 18 through August 2, 2014. Mid-West Youth Basketball Tournament During the summer of 2013 the department of Intramural Sports hosted the Mid-West Youth Basketball Association for the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend. The tournament brought over 80 boys and girls teams to campus from elementary to middle school grade level teams. Due to the size of the tournament we were forced to utilize all four courts in the Student Recreational Center. Over the three day period the event brought over 2000 participants and spectators to campus. The tournament coordinators were extremely pleased with the facilities and the service our staff provided for them over the three days event. Mid-West has already scheduled a return for the Memorial Holiday weekend in 2014 in the SAC Recreational Center. Canoe Regatta The Canoe Regatta continues to be wildly popular and is without question one of our benchmark events. Not only is it one of the great traditions of our department and on our campus, it is also unique to almost every other university in the nation. It is gratifying to think of the history of this event and how it has been passed down within different organizations from year to year. This continues to be the only event on our schedule that features higher female participation than male. This year there were 132 female participants and 70 males. That total, while still popular, is lower than the past several years by 30 to 45 participants each. This was our 4th year of having lunch in the Red Barn with our new sponsor, Qdoba Mexican Grill. The lunch was great and enjoyed by everyone. For the third year in a row we had a smaller than usual turn out for the lunch even though the weather was excellent. We will continue to review the lunch part of the event with the IM Council and at the manager’s meeting next year. Everything was smooth from that end. The entire event hinges on the availability of McNeely Lake. The reservation process from the Louisville Metro Parks Department has been different every year. In fact for the past 7 years we’ve just shown up and used it. Often Metro Parks tells us it’s a state park and not theirs then the state parks tell us just the opposite. Other times we have been told to just show up and use the lake. That is what we have done for the past several years and it doesn’t seem to be a problem. The key is to send the UGA staff out early, before lunch ends, to secure the areas we need. We have had rescue personnel from the Louisville Police and Fire departments the past 10 years and it appears that we have found a more consistent group to work with in this critical area. They have been more than cooperative and have provided a high level of emergency response capabilities should they be needed. It is interesting that Bellarmine University held their first Canoe Regatta this year, modeled after ours. John Smith met with their intramural staff giving them instruction on how to hold the event. Track Meet The Track Meet this year built on the success of the last decade when we made the most significant changes in the events history. We moved the event to early in the fall schedule, hoping more teams would be involved given that the points race was still wide open. We also were able to implement use of the then-new track complex, including the video board/scoreboard. Music was played over the sound system throughout the night and the event was held “under the lights.” Participation was down again this year. Last year we had 180 participants and this year only 156. We have started an event record sheet with the top time and distances in all events. We should be able to use these in promotions for the event and to generate interest. It is good to have the current records in the press box during the actual event and be able to announce “a new record in the women’s 200 has just been set by…” This will only add to the quality of what is rapidly becoming one of our benchmark events. These records have the chance to become one of the traditions on our campus now that we have established their existence to the participants. The help of students from the Administration of Recreational Sports class has been very significant to the success of the event. They have provided timers and judges for the finish line for several meets now. The assistance of the track coach has been very beneficial as well. Ron Mann has been very cooperative in walking the track with us to diagram the staggers and starts, explaining how to run different events. It’s good to get cooperation like that from someone nationally recognized like Coach Mann. We never envisioned the time when 156 participants in the track meet would be considered a down year. The event has become one of our signature activities. There are not many departments in the nation even offering a track meet to their students. To have one of our quality, held at a venue that has served as host to events such as the KHSAA State Championships, Big East and NCAA Division I Regional Championships, is a testimony to the overall strength of our structured intramural program. International Night The Intramural Sports Department once again hosted two International Nights this year. Friday evenings are a popular time amongst the International Students who use our facilities, and it was decided to market specific events toward this population during these times. The format of these events changed a bit from previous years, as we were able to incorporate the new Student Recreation Center into the evening. We used the evening as a way of attracting international students to the new center, and exposing them to the various new amenities available to them. The addition of the MAC Court proved an attractive new option for the evening, with soccer being popular worldwide. We again worked with the International Center, who helped us market the event directly to the various international clubs, which was well received. Once again our Badminton Club provided a strong international presence, as it is the most diverse of all of our sports clubs. These evenings were appreciated by the participants and are good outreach efforts for our department towards our International student population.
Ultimate Frisbee This year we saw 560 people compete in Ultimate Frisbee on 45 different teams, increasing the total number of teams by five. Once again, there was a tournament for the fraternities and sororities while keeping the league for Men’s Open, Co-rec, and Campus divisions. This year’s Champions were Huck Duck Derfler Dynasty, Chronic Anger, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Campus, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Delta Zeta. Kickball This year the women’s kickball league saw a total of 157 participants up from 145 last year on a total of 10 teams compete. This event remains as one of the more entertaining events on our schedule every year and this year was no different. This year Chi Omega took home the Kickball championship. In the Men’s Kickball Tournament we saw 118 men on eleven different teams take the field for the tournament. The tournament got a little dragged out due to rain, but we ended up getting everything in. Sigma Alpha Epsilon (Fraternity) ended up capturing the title this year. Fraternity Softball The league included 12 teams this year, with 138 participants in the league. We had some issues with the weather and the field conditions this year, but with a little patience and a little extra work we got the entire season in. The season ended with Sigma Chi winning it all. Softball Tournament As seems to be the case most years, we had a lot of rain during the softball tournament. We had to cancel several nights of play, but we managed to eventually get everything in. This year we had 149 participants on 15 teams. In the end ULSD won the championship. Flag Football The weather actually seemed to cooperate a little more than normal this year and the Flag Football season was very successful. We saw 86 teams with about 1,300 participants competing in 6 different divisions. With a sport as fast-paced as flag-football, injuries are bound to occur and this year was no different. We had several cuts and bruises along with some concussions and knee dislocations. We also had one seizure and multiple torn ACL’s this year. Thankfully we have good procedures in place to make this scenarios run smoothly. Even with no returning officials from last year, the staff was young and energetic for the most part and eager to improve all season. Sigma Chi was the champion of this year’s Fraternity division and Kappa Delta won the Women’s Closed Divisions. Championships were also won by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon B, The Clowns, Pulp Friction, and SPAD. Tennis Singles We ended up with some really nice weather for the tournament this year. The 88 participants that signed up for the event were all happy that we had nice weather and the event went very smoothly. Daniel Miller from Beta Theta Pi (Fraternity), Sammy Manning from Phi Sigma Rho (Women’s Closed), Alex Ozier (Men’s Open A), and Marco Sebastiani from Pi Kappa Alpha were the winners. Sand Volleyball The weather was fantastic for the tournament this year with it being warm and sunny both days. We saw our numbers increase for the tournament this year. The number of teams went from 44 to 49 and the number of participants increased from 409 to 432. When it was all said and done Beta Theta Pi, Delta Zeta, Beta Theta Pi B, Team Old Guys, and Notorious D.I.G. walked away as Champions. Suggestion: Do each division on one day Graduate Basketball Graduate Basketball this year saw 7 teams with 56 participants come out and play. This league went really well this year and the teams brought their best for every game. ULSD ended up beating out the rest of the competition to take home the title. Tug-O-War We had amazing weather for this year’s Tug-O-War tournament. The weather allowed for some great matchups within the tournament. Only point’s division teams participated in this event and we saw an increase of participants from 128 to 149. We had 10 fraternities compete along with 7 sororities. In the end, Tau Kappa Epsilon won the Fraternity title, while Pi Beta Phi took home the women’s title. Indoor Soccer With the opening of the SRC, we decided to add Indoor Soccer on the MAC Court in replacement of the Fall Soccer Tournament. For the first year of play, we decided to play a tournament with plans to make it a league in the future. We had a total of 35 teams with 385 participants in this year’s tournament. This year’s tournament allowed for great action and some very exciting games. This year Open Wide (Men’s) and Ourselves (Women’s) received Championship shirts for their skills and efforts displayed on the court. We are upgrading the Indoor Soccer Tournament into an Indoor Soccer League next year. Volleyball This year we saw a huge increase in both teams and participants, moving from 40 to 63 total teams and 454 to 718 participants playing in the Volleyball league. Volleyball is usually one of the hardest sports to find officials for, but that was not the case this year. Beta Theta Pi won the Fraternity division, Sigma Kappa won the Women’s Closed division, Notorious D.I.G. won the Co-Rec division, and Sigma Phi Epsilon Old Guys won the Campus division. Sports Trivia Sports Trivia is always one of the more enjoyable events on the schedule each year. We had 12 teams with 51 participants compete. After taking a test, the teams were seeded and then paired against each other until we had a winner. This year’s Fraternity winner was once again Sigma Chi, while the Men’s Open winner was Cardinal Christian Fellowship. Suggestions: Need an updated game Turkey Trot The 60th Annual Turkey Trot took place on a day that featured a lot of sunshine. The course was run on its normal course again this year. This year we had 84 participants, up by 19 from the previous year. The women’s division was won by Alana Cahill of Chi Omega, Michael Price of Sigma Phi Epsilon finished first in the Fraternity division, and Sean Dyreng was the Men’s Open winner. Delta Zeta won overall in Women’s Closed, while Beta Theta Pi won for the second consecutive year in Men’s Open. As is normally the case with this event, the campus police played a major role in the event running so smoothly. Suggestions: Check the course before the race due to construction along 3rd street Swim Meet The swim meet continued to be a unique event for the students as it is one of the very few events of its kind in the nation. The event was again hosted in the Ralph Wright Natatorium and with the help of the Natatorium staff the event ran extremely efficiently. This year we had 100 participants, up from 87 last year, take to the pool. The team champions this year were: Sigma Alpha Epsilon (Fraternity), and Zeta Tau Alpha (Women’s Closed). Bowling Doubles This year we moved the event to Executive Strike N Spare on Phillips Lane with a total of 176 total participants, up from 154 the previous year. The event ran smoothly and we were able to get everyone signed in and assigned to their lane in a relative short period of time. This event is a fun and enjoyable event for all who participate because of its laid back atmosphere and it will continue to be a huge success in the future. Beta Theta Pi won as a team in the Fraternity division, Pi Beta Phi won in the Women’s Closed division, Beta Theta Pi won in the Campus division, Jeff Amluns/Ricky Williams won the Men’s Open Division, and Damon Boggs/Trianna Smith won in the Co-rec division. Individually, the high scores went to Moats/Mairose of Beta Theta Pi, Kleitz/Buckley of Pi Beta Phi, and Neilds/McDonald of Beta Theta Pi. 3 v 3 Basketball At this year’s 3 v 3 basketball tournament we had 208 participants show up, up from 181 last year. The event ran very smoothly and only took two hours, with 45 games played. Delta Zeta won the Women’s Closed division, Sigma Alpha Epsilon won both the Fraternity division and the Campus division, Young Tyrants won the Men’s Open division, and the Flyballers won the Women’s Open division. Billiards This year saw 72 people come out for the billiards tournament. As always the event was broken down into 4 divisions: Men’s Open, Fraternity, Women’s Closed and Campus. The winners were: Gregory Kubicki (Men’s Open Singles), Smith-Tone/Kubicki (Men’s Open Doubles), Richard Marchand of Sigma Chi (Fraternity Singles), Brezosky/Jones of Pi Kappa Alpha (Frat Doubles), Becca Wuestefeld of Delta Zeta (Women’s Closed Singles), Thompson/O’Marra of Sigma Kappa (Women’s Closed Doubles), and Patel/Lentz of Pi Kappa Alpha (Campus Doubles). The Cardinal Corner staff was a huge help in this event. They are always willing to help out by having tables set up before play begins and help with transitioning tables throughout the tournament. Basketball This year’s Basketball league saw an increase of participants from under 1000 to over 1100 on 108 teams, making it our largest sport ever. While some of the teams came out just wanting to have a good time, many of the games were extremely competitive and often times, played down to the wire to determine a winner. This year we had almost an entirely new staff of basketball officials with only one official that had any previous experience. With that being said, there was little complaining about the officials, even in highly competitive games. Some of the injuries that were filed included minor cuts and sprained ankles. In the end, the teams who rose to the challenge to take home the Champion status were: Fraternity – Sigma Chi, Women’s Closed – Delta Zeta, Campus – ULSD 2107, Men’s Open A – Dream Team, Men’s Open B –The Clowns, Co-Rec – CCF, and Women’s Open – Freaks N Sneaks. Suggestions: Championship Night moved back to Cardinal Arena Towels need to be brought up to games to wipe sweat off floors Continue/Revise jersey check-out system Table Tennis This year we had 128 participants show up to display their table tennis abilities. This event ran very smoothly again this year as it only took 4 hours over 3 days to play it. This year’s Champions were: Fraternity Singles- Daniel Miller of Beta Theta Pi, Fraternity Doubles – Dorning/Keller of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Women’s Closed Singles- Kelsey Shackleford of Chi Omega, Women’s Closed Doubles- Meisner/Kuner of Chi Omega, Campus Singles- Nelson of Spin Doctors, Campus Doubles- Bateman/Nelson of Spin Doctors, and Men’s Open Singles- Charles Cui. Spring Soccer This year was a difficult year for Spring Soccer. The first three weeks of the season were almost entirely wiped out by rain, requiring us to shorten the number of regular season games in order to be able to finish the playoffs before the end of the year. Our number of teams was 73 and our number of participants was 960. This year the Championship shirts went to: Tau Kappa Epsilon (Fraternity), Chi Omega (Women’s Closed), SAE B (Campus), Ewzilz (Men’s A), Speed Demons (Men’s B), Team Name (Women’s Open) and Pickup Squad (Co-Rec). Floor Hockey This year we expanded the Floor Hockey League to include Campus and Fraternity Leagues. As is normally the case, we had few issues with our floor hockey league. We had 28 total teams compete with 288 participants in all divisions. This year’s winners were Sigma Phi Epsilon (Fraternity), Chi Omega (Women’s Closed), and Cougar Bait (Campus) Court Dodgeball This year we kept the same format (tournament-style) for Court Dodgeball. We had 34 teams and 156 participants in all divisions. The event ran smoothly again this year. This year’s winners were Sigma Phi Epsilon (Fraternity and Campus) and Chi Omega (Women’s Closed).

-Revisit rules Tennis Doubles This year’s tennis doubles tournament saw an increase from 34 to 42 people come out to compete. Miller/Hamm won the fraternity division and King/Greenwell from Zeta Tau Alpha won the Women’s Closed division. Suggestions: Night during the week may be better time than weekends Golf Tournament We held this year’s Golf Tournament at Cherokee Golf Course again with an increase in golfers from 38 to 44 showing up for the event. We could not have asked for better weather for the event and Cherokee golf Course was very accommodating to us. Chet Wehrman of Sigma Phi Epsilon had the low score, while Alec Dones/Tyler Irvin of Tau Kappa Epsilon won the fraternity division overall. Disc Golf This was the second year of the Disc Golf tournament being held at Iroquois Park’s Disc Golf Course. This event featured an increase from 10 to 14 organizations and also participants from 21 to 43 participants. It was a pretty nice day weather-wise, but there was a little bit of wind that made the course play a little tougher. The winner of this year’s Disc Golf tournament was Aaron Filedhouse of Beta Theta Pi. Beta Theta Pi won the team portion for the Fraternity League. Chelsea Cook won the Women’s Open Division and Eric Lomax won the Men’s Open Division. Suggestions: Change one disc rule (allow use of multiple discs) Putt-Putt The event could not have been held on a more beautiful day, and showed a major decrease in the number of forfeits with the move to a later time. This year’s Putt-Putt event saw 61 participants come out. The event ran very smoothly lasting a little over an hour. Sign in was split up between two people, which made the process go smoothly. This year’s organization winners were Sigma Phi Epsilon in the Fraternity division, Zeta Tau Alpha in the Women’s Closed Division, and Pi Kappa Alpha in the Campus division. The low round of the day went to Corey Behbehani of Pi Kappa Alpha (Fraternity), Lauren Guelda of Zeta Tau Alpha (Women’s Closed), and Jason Porter of Pi Kappa Alpha (Campus). Bowling Singles Even with the points races already being decided, we saw an increase in participants from 58 to 79. The event was held at Executive Strike N Spare on Phillips Lane. This year’s event went by really quickly, only lasting about an hour and a half thanks to the staff being able to sign participants in quickly and coordinating with bowling staff efficiently. The organization winners were Beta Theta Pi in the Fraternity division, Delta Zeta in the Women’s Closed division, and Pi Kappa Alpha in the Campus division. High games went to Hayden Mattingly of Sigma Chi (Fraternity), Becca Wuestefeld from Delta Zeta (Women’s Closed), and Sam Fox from Pi Kappa Alpha (Campus). Suggestions: Use the new center instead of the bigger, older center of the bowling facility.
