The Herd's Ultimate Challenge听

CU students鈥� mental and physical abilities were put to the test during The Herd鈥檚 Ultimate Challenge, Oct. 21. Modeled after CBS鈥� The Amazing Race and co-produced by Floyd Pierce (ApMath, Econ鈥�17)鈥� a participant in the spring 2017 season of the show 鈥� the event gave 29 two-person teams a chance at $2,000, half for the winners, half for the CU student group of their choice.

The teams raced around Boulder searching for clues at McGuckin Hardware, Hotel Boulderado, the Pearl Street Mall and Macky Auditorium while completing tasks such as balancing three golf balls one atop another, building a planter鈥檚 box and completing puzzles. The winning team, 鈥淪noopy Goons,鈥� was a duo of U.S. Marine Corps veterans, Christopher Black (EPOBio, IntPhys鈥�18) and Allen Dehoff (EPOBio, IntPhys鈥�18). They donated $1,000 to the Student Veterans Association.
