Guest Star: Westminster College

Unusual sports
  • Polo (pretty much just croquet on a horse)
  • One that involves invisible cars and gummy candy. And an obstacle course.
  • Ninja Warrior (this is a half sport)
  • The high school sport that is jumping over the desks in order to reach yours due to the large class sizes in Utah's public schools.
  • The other high school sport that is trying to walk up that one staircase that everyone wants to walk up in less than 6 minutes. It is a test of endurance.
  • Running with the bulls
  • Running with the bowls
