Tonight, the first annual Tiger Sports Rally was held in the student center on Wittenberg's campus to kick off this year's athletic season. Not only was this event used as a means to gather tiger athletes but it was also a way to introduce our new president, Dr. Joyner, to the athletes here at Wittenberg. The rally was consumed by the music, energy, and excitement provided by the athletes and coaches alike that were present. It was really great to experience a gathering of all the athletes at Wittenberg and to really see just how many of us there are. The athletic director and several coaches led the athletes in cheers and then Dr. Joyner gave a short speech. She said how impressed she was with Wittenberg so far because not only are we academically strong but also athletically successful. However, as the rally went on, students began to lose interest; especially during a trivia game that seemed to last a lifetime. But, have no fear, the athletes attention levels and energy picked up again once the DJ yelled "who wants free t-shirts?!" Quickly athletes were on their feet hoping to catch a free Wittenberg t-shirt. Overall, I think the rally was a success and I hope they continue it for years to come.
