At some points of the race, participants had to get off their bikes and carry them. “I’m an avid cross racer. I like cross racing because it exploits athleticism. You have to power over the bike and good bike handling. What I like is that it’s so multifaceted. You are always mentally and physically busy,” said Bob Walker, a participant in the men’s advanced race.The race is held on three consecutive Saturdays.  It started on Nov. 7 and will end on Nov. 21.Races included men’s and women’s advanced, men’s and women’s beginner and a cubez race (for 10 to 14 year olds); each race lasts 25 minutes. Participants could compete one day or all three Saturdays to complete the series.“For beginners getting on and off the bike to carry it over the barriers is the hardest part,” said Kate Summerill, a volunteer at the event.The event brought the community and BYU–I together.“It’s a good way to be involved in the community. There is a lot of opportunity for students to be involved in events and to serve,” said junior Lanae Ricks.The city of Rexburg is looking for volunteers to help with these kinds of events and hopes to get students involved in city events. “We are always looking for volunteers. I think this kind of a race appeals to students because it is about endurance and it’s weather related,” said Bob Yateman, Rexburg recreation director. Registration for the final cyclecross race to be Nov. 21 can take place any day before the race but ends an hour before races start.  One-day registration costs $15 for adults and $5 for cubez racers. Series registration costs $35 for adults and $12 for cubez racers and is not refundable after registration has been processed.Participants who are completing the series will be awarded prizes on Nov. 21 after points from each race have been tallied. Points are awarded by the place that participants come in during each race. Prizes included medals for first, second, and third place and raffle prizes donated from local businesses for each participant.Madison Memorial Hospital, Sticks and Stones-Biking and Climbing, Kettle Embroidery and Screen Printing and The City of Rexburg sponsored the Cyclocross. All proceeds from races went to fund recreation programs and future events in Rexburg, according to www.rexburg.org. “It is all about fun. It gives them [students] something to look forward to,” said senior Kim Burly.For more information about Cyclocross and to see more pictures of the event, visit http://thecubecyclocross.blogspot.com or www.rexburg.org.

Together they decided to teach the Brazilian jiujutsu class Wednesday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. in Hart 204. Jiujutsu was first developed in Japan for self-defense. Helio Gracie, the founder of Brazilian jiujutsu, wanted to adapt Japanese jiujutsu so that it could be performed on the ground, said Brook. “It really boosts your self confidence especially if you’re a girl and you get to throw the big guys,” said freshman Jessica Chantry. “Brazilian jiujutsu is less violent than regular Jiujutsu. It is about technique over strength,” said Mills. “Brazilian jiujutsu is a little man’s game,” Brook said. The Brazilian jiujutsu class has been running for the past four semesters. Students are invited to join the free class and learn a new skill. There is no need for any prior martial arts experience for students who show up for the class. It is a safe environment and does not allow full-contact fighting, according to the RecSports Web site. “Just join in,” Brooks said to a student who was watching the class. Jiujutsu can be fun, entertaining and provide a great work out. For more information about jiujutsu, email recsports@byui.edu or register online at activites.byui.edu/sports/#.

It’s a great stress reliever,” Tustian said.  For more information about RecSports call 496-2115 or visit Hart 227.      Kelsi Shipley scroll staff and, build, general, get, kelsi shipley, out, play, sports, zion nonadult false Build Zion, get out and play text blog and,build,general,get,kelsi shipley,out,play,sports,zion 90 0 0.0 http://kickapps.byuicomm.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=12609392&as=96698 http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/user/defaultImage_160x120_A.jpg false 0 SPORTS / GENERAL 0 996004 12609392 Member 0 http://kickapps.byuicomm.com/_Sports-injuries-where-to-get-help/BLOG/995983/96698.html About 2,846 students are participating in RecSports activities this semester, and like in any activity, participants could get injured.  “The RecSports Program will provide initial first response care, such as the provision of bandages, ice, or immobilization, to any participant injured during a RecSports contest,” according to the policies and procedures posted on the activities Web site.

The teams were made up of expert hockey players, and gave students the opportunity to see what hockey is all about.  Senior Mike Walton who is studying business management said, “It’s events like this that make me feel good about myself as a person.” Freshman Robert Barlow also showed up to play. He had never played hockey before Saturday, but enjoyed it. He said that the hardest part for him was puck control. This game was an introduction to the rest of the hockey season. Throughout the month of October students will be able to participate in clinics and tournaments. The winner of the last tournament will receive a T-shirt, and bragging rights for the rest of their stay at BYU–Idaho. The first clinic will be held on October 10. Students will have the opportunity to play, have fun, and receive pointers. It will be followed by a skills clinic on October 14.  “These clinics will help students learn the basics of skating, passing, shooting, puck control, as well as the general philosophy of the game” said Chris Pew, RecSports marketing coordinator.  A round robin tournament will take place October 17 at the ice rink. During this tournament, teams will have the opportunity to play each other at least once. This will also determine what rank they will be and when they will play during the final tournament on October 24. Roller hockey is a fast paced and exciting sport. Mike Alton a senior studying earth science education said,“I grew up playing. I like it a lot better than other sports. It is fast paced and you get to hit people." Austin Wood, the Fall Rec roller hockey Coordinator said, “Just as many organizations on campus provide opportunities to get involved, roller hockey gives students a chance to participate in an organized, uplifting program.” According to Wood, BYU–Idaho has bought about 200 pairs of roller blades for students to use. He said, “If we can get enough players signed up for roller hockey, why don’t we use them all!”   Whether it is a freshman who has never played before, or a senior who has played for years roller hockey can be for everyone.

Swerve right. Time is running out. It’s now or never. Barely missed the opponent. Kick the ball, GOAL!  Whether it is soccer, football, baseball, or frisbee, the adrenaline rush of playing sports can be overpowering. BYU-Idaho gives all students the opportunity to participate in athletics. Intramurals are a fun way for students to be physically active.There are numerous benefits to being a member of an intramural team. Intramural teams help students feel more confident and outgoing, and it gives students the opportunity to learn the importance of sportsmanship.  “Sportsmanship is the spirituality in athletics,” according to President Ezra Taft Benson, as quoted on activities.byui.edu/sports. Students can become more prepared for the world through intramurals, because they have had to work as a team. Working as a team is not always easy, but in the end students see, according to Doctrine and Covenants 18:10, that the worth of souls truly is great. Jessica Boggs, a sophomore studying elementary education, said, “You have to learn to trust each other. You don’t get that from playing an individual sport.”Another benefit of intramurals is the ability to build lifelong friendships.When Katrina Savens, a sophomore studying elementary education, and Jamie Morgan, a sophomore studying photography, first came to BYU-Idaho, they wanted to get to know other students. They joined an intramural football team and they loved it. Both girls agreed playing on an intramural team helped them build life long friendships. “Basically that was the only reason we would have been friends,” said Morgan. Through practices, games, and team bonding experiences, such as making team jerseys, Morgan and Savens became close as they played and worked together on and off the field.Intramurals are a fun way for students to get involved. Anyone can play. Students can create a team with friends they already know, students in their ward, or random students they see out on the street. Individual students can sign up for a team as well. Get into the game. Learn a new sport. Make new friends and have some fun.For more information about intramurals, visit the RecSports office at Hart 227, call 496-2115 or visit the activities Web site at activities.byui.edu/sports. Kelsi Shipleyscroll staff general, sports nonadult false Sports participants benefit greatly text blog general,sports 188 0 0.0 http://kickapps.byuicomm.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=12609392&as=96698 http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/user/defaultImage_160x120_A.jpg false 2 SPORTS / GENERAL 0 812952 12609392 Member 0
