November’s Regional Olympic Event is the timed Elbow Plank. The rules for this event are listed below:
Ground Rules (no pun intended)
- Lie on the floor with elbows directly beneath your shoulders and legs fully extended.
- Raise your torso into the air until it makes a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles.
- Tighten your stomach, and hold this position for as long as possible.
- The clock stops when any part of the body, save for your elbow/forearms and feet, touch the floor.
Physical Education staff (or Building Administrator/designee if P.E. not involved) will record your time to the nearest 1 second. Results are due by Friday, December 6, 2019.
As always, there will be four categories for this event, with winners determined by gender and age. Medals (Gold, Silver, Bronze) will be awarded to both male and female participants in an under 40 (<40), a 40 and above (=/>40) category. So, across the CVES BOCES Region, up to twelve medals will be awarded per month. There is also a monthly award for the district with the highest percentage of staff participation.
Updates, including the guidelines and monthly medal winners, will be available on the CVES Regional Olympics webpage at https://www.cves.org/cves-regional-school-district-olympics/ .
“HAVE FUN”, eat healthy, sleep well, and exercise!
Keep calm and plank on.
