Ozarka College Fitness Challenge Results

Published on December 23, 2015


Ozarka College hosted a reception on Tuesday, December 8, 2015, for participants of their fitness challenge. The fitness challenge was part of a grant from the Blue & You Foundation for a Healthier Arkansas that began in January of 2015, where participants were invited to log their miles throughout the year from walking, running, swimming, etc.

"We started this journey with a goal of 100 participants to collectively log 10,000 miles, " said Josh Wilson, Ozarka College Associate Vice President of Planning and Institutional Research. "As of Friday, December 4, we had 242 participants who together logged 116,445 miles. "  The College is proud to report that 75% of all participants either met or surpassed their mileage pledge for the year, and twenty-four participants logged more than 1,000 miles individually!

Of the 242 participants in the Ozarka College Fitness Challenge, 53 were members of the Ozarka College Fitness Center, 82 were Ozarka employees, 84 were Ozarka students, and 23 were members of the community-at-large.

The College would like to thank all of participants for their contribution, and give special congratulations to the top three mileage contributors: Takara Kinion (3,420 miles), Layne Sargeson (2,087 miles), and Jeannie Hudspeth (1,892 miles).
