The sprinklers at the Campus Pond, usually there for decorative purposes, drenched the ladies of the Sigma Kappa canoe team.

This might have been a reason for their loss against the women of Delta Delta Delta, who beat them with a time of 2 minutes, 22 seconds.

The sprinkler was shut off after the first heat.

Ashley Cook, a junior family and consumer science major and member of the Tri-Delta team, said it was difficult, but fun at the same time.

“We just went for it without any training and it ended up being so much fun,” she said.

Cook and teammate Lauren Stotts, a freshman biological sciences major, had both canoed before, but not at a professional level.

The canoes took off at the bridge near the top of the pond where one team rowed the left side of the pond and the other rowed the right.

Both teams were required to round the buoy located at the bottom of the pond.

Alpha Phi and Sigma Sigma Sigma had a run-in at the buoy point when their canoes clashed against each other, causing Tri-Sigma to disrupt their flow.

Alpha Phi straightened out and won the race.

Delta Zeta beat Alpha Sigma Tau with a time of 2:23.

Kappa Delta took first place in the women’s division when they beat Alpha Sigma Alpha.

The Alpha Gamma Delta canoe team competed solo and came back to the finish line after 2:54.

For the men’s division, Lambda Chi Alpha took first place of all the heats with a time of 1:28 against Sigma Chi.

Ryan Roth, a sophomore graphic design major, and teammate Jeff Traub, a junior business finance major, made it back to the finish line before the Sigma Chi men were halfway back.

“It feels good to win first place,” Roth said. “We did exactly what we wanted to do.”

Traub said he knew how to paddle before and Roth is a kayaker so they were well prepared for this event.

Sigma Pi won a close call against Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Nu lost to Alpha Tau Omega.

Sig Ep teammates T.J. Tebbe, a senior finance major, and Paul Laubersheimer, a senior marketing major, said the match was intense.

“The northeast wind helped us when we were having some trouble getting around the buoy,” Tebbe said. “We got a little fatigued and tired about halfway through, but it was good.”

Both teammates donned water wings to express their enthusiasm for the event.

“We didn’t get a canoe and practice, but we sat on my twin bed and practiced rowing,” Tebbe said.

Sigma Phi Epsilon beat Delta Sigma Phi with a time of 1:37.

Phi Kappa Theta did not show up to compete so Pi Kappa Alpha struggled through their match alone.

The Pyramids event was a quick one.

In the women’s division, Alpha Gamma Delta finished in first place with Tri-Sigma finishing second and Kappa Delta third place.

Men’s teams that placed were Sigma Phi Epsilon in first, Sigma Nu in second place and Sigma Pi who took third.

Hans Monroy, a junior history major and member of Sigma Nu, said the event was a lot of fun and his team had practiced for the past week.

“Pyramids is my tugs,” he said. “All of Greek Week is fun and it’s great to see so many people come out to participate and watch.”
