This is the site of the NAU Olympic games, hosted by the NAU Aurora campus. NAU students and their families are invited to participate in 10 days of Olympic events --our "type" of Olympic events at least. Medals (genuine, high quality plastic, likely made in China medals) will be given for first, second and third place finishers in each event. Participate and put some fun into your day!

Event 9: Sticky Situation

As with all NAU Aurora Olympic events, the honor system is critical.  Most of the events are timed.  Participants, like athletes, are expected to display the highest levels of honor in competition.  To certify results of this event, participants should video and then send the video by email to dreichert@national.edu (the head official of the NAU Aurora Olympic games) for verification. Questions may also be directed to this email.

Sticky Situation
We are borrowing an event that was  made famous on the show "Minute to Win it".  Watch the video below to see the specifics of the event:  (if video does not play, click here to watch on a new page)



Object: bounce as many ping pong balls on the target (slice of bread) as you can within 1 minute.
Rules/Process:   Stand 15 feet away from a slice of bread with peanut butter on it (put the bread on the floor).   Bounce/throw ping pong balls and try to hit the bread. Count the number of balls that hit the target.  It is OK to pull balls off the bread and use again (will want to wipe clean before throwing again).
Equipment needed:  10-20 ping pong balls, bread, peanut butter, tape measure and a timer.
Event deadline:  participants have until Friday, Aug. 19 at 6PM to complete this event and send in  documentation.
The winners will be those who hit the target with the highest number of ping pong balls in a minutes time.
