SIOP 2009 Fun Run

Paul Sackett

One hundred eleven brave souls got up bright and early on a beautiful morning for the annual SIOP Fun Run along the banks of the Mississippi in New Orleans.  Stephen Murphy and Deborah Powell have won the men’s and women’s titles multiple times in the past and did so once again this year.  We had a spirited four-person team competition this year with the University of Guelph winning not only the team title but also the newly created “most creative team” title, as they designed custom t-shirts for the event complete with a structural model of their plan for team success on the back. Once again, thanks to Kevin Williams and Pat Sackett for working to make the event happen. Please join us next April in Atlanta!
