Day 5 brought us two events: Paperwad Basketball officiated by Kara Robinson and the continuation of Periodical Pagoda Ping Pong.

 

In Paperwad Basketball:

 

Cynthia Williams bested the field with 31 points

 

Michael Hawkins claimed silver with 24 points

 

The podium for bronze was crowded with a 3-way tie for bronze at 19 points: Steph Gaskins, Cindy Kristof, and Pam Lemmons.

 

 

At Periodical Pagoda Ping Pong, competition tested the mettle of the players.  Who would raise their game in the midst of play that featured matches with seesaw rallies, shots that hit the edge of the table, and attempts that just cleared the net?

 

 

Dorothea Richards def. Kim Schwab 2 sets to 0

 

Dorothea Richards def. Mike Souza 2-1

 

Steph Gaskins def. Anita Clary 2-0

 

 

Day 6 brought us the long-awaited tiebreaker in Yumenoshima Park Archery.  Who would triumph by keeping their focus honed in with such high stakes?

 

In competition that mirrored the intensity throughout, Cindy Kristof sent the results: 

 

Kelly Riley and Tammy Voelker claimed gold with 3 CDs knocked down 

 

Pam Lemmons and Cynthia Williams took silver with 1 CD knocked down

 

No bronze medal was awarded.

 

 

Kelly Riley and Jen Rice brought us the Mt. Fuji-Ramen Chopstick Challenge.  Who would showcase their dexterity and skill to the fullest?

 

Jeph Remley took gold.

 

Ken Burhanna and Anita Clary claimed silver.

 

Bronze went to Alex Milovich.

 

Thank you to all of our participants and congratulations to all of our medalists!

 

Day 7 will bring us more Periodical Pagoda Ping Pong in the May 4 Room and Shibuya Pattopatto miniature golf in the DI Hub with Zach Mikrut and Tabitha Messmore of LaunchNET.

 

Join us, won't you?

 

The Flame still burns!
