On Thursday, August 1, excitement and competitive spirit soared as students represented their chosen countries in the college’s Olympic Tabloid Day.

The event featured a range of exciting events, from precision-based hoop throwing and bean bag toss, to athletic long jumps and the challenging skill of stilt walking.

As the games unfolded, flags waved proudly overhead and a spirit of sportsmanship filled the air.

News photographer Megan Fisher captured the fun and games.
