Job Fair = great success!

As usual, Tuesday’s Job Fair was a great success. SFA students flocked the Rec Center Lobby ready to fill out applications.

Lots of great applicants applied for jobs with Sport Clubs, Facilities, Intramural Sports, Promotions, Outdoor Pursuits and Fitness and Wellness.

The Job Fair application allowed students to rank which program areas they would most like to work for. After filling one out, participants were asked to wait in a designated area for a preliminary interview with a representative from their top program choice. If the applicant seems to fill the needs of the vacant position they applied for, they will be called back for a second interview with the head of the program area.

It’s great that so many of you want to work at Campus Rec!

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, come out to the Rugby Field next to the Intramural Fields on Saturday at 2 p.m. SFA Rugby Sport Club is playing North Texas and it should be an exciting match.

Also, Outdoor Pursuits is hosting the 4^th annual Jacks on Belay climbing competition Saturday. If you’re wondering why the rock wall has been closed this week it’s so the staff can prepare for the competition. Participants can register up until the rules meeting at 12:45 p.m. and it will be $30. This year’s theme is Stach Bash so sport your mustache! If you don’t have one OP will have plenty to go around. I’ve even seen a staff member whose name I will not mention growing a mustache of his own just for this event!

Have a great rest of the week and try not to get too stressed out over school- Thanksgiving break is just around the corner Jacks!

Ab-tastic!

On Sunday when I was planning out my week, I decided my exercise plan needed a little more discipline.

Some of my days are so hectic that I literally have something scheduled for every hour. I just can’t seem to get into a solid workout routine. It has proven difficult for me to follow through with a scheduled personal workout so I thought I’d try enlisting the help of others.

I looked at the Campus Rec Group Exercise schedule in hopes of finding a class that fits my needs. Sure enough, Abs for Lunch from 12:15-12:45 MWF works perfectly.

I wrote the class in my planner as a scheduled part of my day so I couldn’t pretend like I hadn’t thought about going to it.

It may have been a bit of mental trickery, but hey, it worked! I made it to the class.

The result? Abs for Lunch has a new fan. Loud techno music and a knowledgeable instructor got me in the zone.

30 straight minutes of abs is probably more than I have done in my whole life, but I got through it. Plus, some of the exercises we did worked out more than just the tummy.

There was leg, arm and cardio work mixed in too.

The instructor was really nice and walked around the room giving everyone tips. I found that helpful because I know it is easy to hurt your neck or back attempting ab exercises.

After the class I felt great for the rest of the day. So what if I have to have someone make me do it—a workout is a workout!

For a full list of Group Exercise classes, go to www.sfasu.edu/campusrec and click on “Group X Session II Schedule” on the right hand side of the homepage. Or of course you can pick up a paper copy inside the Rec.

Have a great day!

SFA Bass Club going to nationals!

Hello there, I hope everyone had a great Homecoming and Halloween weekend!

After the football game Saturday I headed straight out to the Ag Pond for the final weigh-in of the FLW College Fishing Texas Regional Championship.

With three days of intense fishing competition behind them, SFA anglers Ryan Watkins and Blaze Platt placed fifth out of 20 teams qualifying them to compete in the national championships in Kentucky this April.

The team is proud of their efforts and is looking forward to getting out on the water again.

“The tournament’s going to be huge. Watkins said. “It’s a bigger stage for us to represent the SFA Bass team. It’s impossible to hang your head when there were so many people that always wanted to be in your position. We’re happy where we’re at. I always want to win, but it’s just the way it worked out.”

The Watkins/ Platt team was the only from SFA to qualify for regional’s. In fact they qualified twice.

Congratulations boys! Way to represent for the Lumberjacks.

On another note, if you’re driving on Star or Wilson Streets this weekend and notice a lot of extra activity on the Intramural Fields it’s because for the third year in a row SFA is hosting the NIRSA Region IV Flag Football tournament.

NIRSA is the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association, so this is a big deal for SFA.

As of right now there are 42 Men’s, 10 Women’s and 16 Co-Rec teams competing for the Region IV title.

The games start Friday November 5, at 2:30 p.m. and the championships will be held Sunday November 7.
