Top ten Rose track-and-field events

Matt Melton

The Broken Mouse Toss: Possibly not so broken. Toss, violently slam against a wall... small details.

The “30 Free Tickets To See 300 at IMAX?!” Dash: 16 seconds flat? a new world record!

The World of Warcraft Marathon: No getting up. For any reason.

The Rose-Hulman Medley: The Subway Run, the Wal-Mart Run, the First-Wok Run, and anchoring it all, the Taco Bell Run!

The All Night “Mountain Dew” Relay: For the extreme athlete, try the All Week “Monster” Relay.

The Lake and Lap: Run around Speed Lake, then lake someone. Rose’s version of the Steeplechase, sort of.

The “Run! It’s a Girl!” Sprint: Rose men have specialized in this event since 1947.

The Senior Laptop Discus Throw: IAIT’s official favorite.

The “Oh Crap, I Have Four Homework Assignments, an Essay, a Presentation, and Two Tests Tomorrow” Race: Also known as “Tuesday.”

The quintessential Rose-Hulman event: The Nerd Run!
