Each semester, the Physical Education and Sports Center holds two events aimed at encouraging students to make exercise a lifelong habit. The Fitness Challenge and the Swim Challenge invite Bilkenters to work out in the gym or swim two to five times each week during a four-week period, with participants collecting points each time they exercise.
This spring, the challenges attracted a total of 201 participants. On May 7, a reception at the Sports Center’s swimming pool facility celebrated the conclusion of the challenges, with awards presented to the 47 individuals who collected 120 or more points.
