 Central Lakes College students spent the evening paddling homemade cardboard boats across the pool at the high school in a battle for CLC's annual Club Olympics titles. 16s participated in the cardboard boat races which was the final event of five in the annual club Olympics. After five rounds of races the Marine and Power Sports Club took home the grand prize. Each club was tasked with creating a boat using only cardboard and duct tape. We wanted it stable so we made it wider and we wanted it easy to get in and out of as we show them tonight. We could just get in and out without climbing over so I think we got what we wanted. It's my last year with the club so pretty happy that we won. Central Lakes College has over 30 students run clubs covering subjects from horticulture to welding. Club Olympics is a tradition at CLC and was started as a way for the various clubs and organizations intermittently from each other. Tonight we had the American Sign Language, the Lions Club, the Diesel Club from Staples, Horticulture Club, the Young Patriots Club and ourselves and you know we just wouldn't get to see those students otherwise if it wasn't for competitions like this. It's a nice bonding thing. We get to know students from other programs and everybody develops friendships. The Marine and Power Sports Club took first place overall in the club Olympics with CLC Lions clubs taking second.
