MAC-ATHLON
Join Us!
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the MAC Virtual State Meet, we have come up with another MAC Team Competition. This one will work a little differently. Participants will be split up into multiple teams of 8 people. Together, as a small team, you’ll need to work together “virtually” to complete the events. Points are awarded not only for activity but also for keeping each other connected. This is what MAC is all about – connections and the MAC Family! So, sign up, invite some new people, get moving, and let’s show our MAC Spirit even when we can’t be together!

1. 50 Yard Dash – 5 Points
If you do the dash in a Bathing Suit/Swim Gear and Post the Photo to MAC Facebook Page – get an EXTRA 5 Points

2. After registration closes on Sunday 4/5 @ noon, the MAC coaches will split up all participants into multiple teams of 6-8 people (depending on total registration). The different team breakdowns and all competition events will be visible on the Google Doc, around 4:00 pm Sunday 4/5. Events will not be revealed until registration closes.
3. BEFORE Competition Begins (after your teams are assigned):
- Contact/connect with your fellow teammates
- Choose team captain
- Pick a team name, and send your team name to Coach Jim: jimjtg@icloud.com
4. AFTER Competition Begins:
- All individual and team event points will be counted and totaled AS A TEAM.
- Keep in contact with your team. Work together “virtually” to complete as many events as you can to accumulate points.
- You can do as many or as few events as you wish
- You may do the same event multiple times
- Events can be done in any order – at any time— indoors, outdoors, or a combination of both
