An Epic Battle

Tug of War Champions

Every year Sunridge Middle School competes in a challenge of endurance, this year Mr. Gundlach’s eighth grade advisory class came out on top in the tug of war competition. It was a mighty struggle of wits and strength. Although the battle was rough much like the French and Indian war in 1754, they still proved triumphant. Colin Rickman who was on the winning side of this mighty struggle states that “the battle was physically and emotionally draining, pulling and heaving with all of my might only the ‘big V’ was in sight, and that is what we obtained.” It was a crushing blow for the opposing team who lost when so close to the finish.  As Gundlach himself states “we were in it to win it baby!” Tug of war is an exciting physical exercise that kids will be happy to compete in, and creates some good old friendly competition. As many of the victors said “we just hope next year’s class carries on our legacy and continues the tradition of tug of war champions.”
