CAMPUS Special Olympics Club: A “Ramily,” “vital for the community”

By Gerson Flores Rojas @GersonFloresRo1

Earlier this year, Colorado State University became the only uni- versity in the nation to receive the distinction of a National Banner School. Meanwhile, the Special Olym- pics Club at CSU received recogni- tion in its own right for its efforts of inclusivity. When Mallory Gustin, club president, and Lizzie Belecky, club vice president, found out about the nomination, they were expecting CSU to reach top 40 in the nation, but instead, CSU was recognized as one of the top five schools in the country for its inclusive efforts within the community. “I was just over-the-moon ex- cited to hear that all of our athletes were going to be recognized; our club was going to be recognized; all of the hard work we were putting in was making a difference, and this was just reinforcement,” said Belecky, a junior health and exercise science major at CSU. Though recognition is not what Gustin and Belecky said they are looking for, it is important for them Tyler Andersen, center, an athlete with the Special Olympics club at Colorado State University, participates in the coin toss before their evening fl ag football game on the Intramural Fields Oct. 8.

This team is a part of the Collegiate Water Montana State, University of Washington, Cal Poly, Polo Association and competes in about four tournaments and many others. The events they compete in include each season. They compete against other collegiate teams pole climbing, axe throwing, crosscut sawing, chainsaw from Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. events, chopping, and water sports like log rolling. Their Travel team members will compete at CWPA tournaments competitions are mainly in the spring and practice is held during the fall and practice squad members are welcomed year-round on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 4 at all practices and will have the opportunity to participate p.m. to 6 p.m. or until dark. Dues for the team are between in scrimmages and spring tournaments. They welcome $70 and $75 per semester. any and all levels of experience to practice with the team, but tryouts will determine which players will travel to tournaments.

DISC GOLF CSU’s Disc Golf Club was the fi rst collegiate disc golf club in the state. They welcome all levels of players; from beginner, to advanced, to pro players. The goal of this club is to give people the opportunity to either try a new sport or to advance and hone their disc golf skills. Even though disc golf isn’t the most physically demanding sport, it does require a great deal of technique and mental focus in order to become a great player. Most competitions are performed individually, but individual scores do affect the team’s overall score. In 2012, the Disc Golf team took fi rst place, out of 40 teams, at the National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships. The next year, a four-person team went to Nationals and tied for second place; they were one stroke away from winning the title. 12 Monday, November 4, 2019 | The Rocky Mountain Collegian SPONSORED CONTENT SPONSORED CONTENT MOREMORE SPORTSSPORTS YOUYOU SHOULDSHOULD KNOWKNOW ABOUTABOUT PERFECT ON-THE-GO EQUINE CLUBS ULTIMATE FRISBEE Photo courtesy of the CSU Ultimate Frisbee CSU provides students with the opportunity WOMEN’S ULTIMATE to join a variety of di erent equine clubs; The The women’s ultimate frisbee team, known as Hell’s Belles, Polo Club, Ranch Horse Club, English Riding WINTER SNACKS provides students with an opportunity to gain leadership Club, Mountain Riders Horse Club, and Rodeo skills and develop community and athleticism.

The shocking point margin at halftime shows how great the Rams’ special teams played in the first half. Coming out of halftime, the Rebels found a little rhythm to get themselves back into the game. They were able to put to- gether a drive, marching down field to tack on a field goal, making the score 24-3. The Rams would soon respond with a field goal of their own to ex- tend the lead 27-3.

MUSIC Jimmy Eat World unites fans for a one-of-a-kind performance

By Matt Campbell @mcampnh

Jimmy Eat World, a staple in pop-punk music since the early 2000s, gave their fans a perfor- mance to remember this weekend, reminding audiences of the era we all remember so fondly. For the fi rst night of their “Sur- viving” tour, the band delivered a very special show for a sold-out crowd at Fort Collins’ Washing- ton’s. The band is touring in support of their 10th studio album of the same name, and fans were excited and surprised to see the band take the stage of one of Fort Collins’ newest venues. Jimmy Eat World’s fanbase reaches across generations, evident by the diverse crowd of teenagers to 30-somethings and beyond. For over 25 years, Jimmy Eat World has established itself as a heavyweight in emo and alternative rock music, with their single “The Middle” be- ing a staple in rock radio. “It’s huge for them, and it’s huge for me because Jimmy Eat World (has) been a staple for a lot of young adults,” said Jared Diehl, a Fort Col- lins resident and a fan for nearly 20 Jimmy Eat World’s lead singer Jim Adkins singing on stage during the band’s “Surviving” tour, named after their latest album.
