A team made up of members from the Syracuse Center of Excellence and the Center for Sustainable Community Solutions was awarded a trophy for their daily fitness efforts in the campus’s 25 Days of Fitness event. The team covered 821 miles in various forms of exercise in April, outdistancing other participating teams.
The Department of Recreation Services, Healthy Monday Syracuse, the Syracuse University Wellness Initiative and Summit Federal Credit Union sponsored the campuswide event, 25 Days of Fitness, to kick-start the beginning of the spring season and encourage individuals to challenge themselves to a healthier lifestyle.
Members of the team, named “2016 Champs!,” were Lauren Bailey, Stacy Bunce (team captain), Summer Deeb, Khris Dodson, Kathy Forrest, Kerrie Marshall, Paul McCarthy and Dastan Pakyari.
Syracuse University, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and Upstate Medical University students, faculty and staff were invited to track their daily distances converted to miles through walking, running, rolling, hiking or climbing.
Teams consisted of at least four individuals. For teams with more than four individuals, the top four distances counted toward the team total distance.
