The Society for the Discontinuation of the Pentathlon

[sewforlife]

We set up a couple practice events (and someone made up a random trivia packet for the kids doing Pentathlon). They got all mad at the girl who set up the first practice event because she made them do a kickline as their group task
I was surprised, though, at how stupid some of the smart kids on my team are- one couldn't remember the density formula (as in mass over volume... elementary school stuff there), one didn't know that baking soda and ammonia are basic... Our Pentathlon team is two kids with common sense/intelligence, and two with absolutely no common sense (maybe some intelligence, but evidently they don't use it on the event).

a kickline? wow. we had to pass a basketball over under over under, and run to the back of the line..

never did it, but it does sound dumb, but we can't really do anything, the more we hate it, the harder it sounds to the comitee, and longer they keep it....

Here's final proof that PENTATHOLAN STINKS:

A school that placed 3rd IN THE NATION last year, but there year, they were kept out of nats BECAUSE THEY did not do well in Pentaholan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Now tell me if you still think Pentatholan's a fair event!

Which school is that? Are you serious or are you just making this up. I hope the same thing doesn't happen in pa...

I agree... they should replace it with something like Awesome Aquifer or another retired event!

I agree to!!!

I hope Ohio isn't the only state where pentathlon decided which team will/would go to nats, because its not like you can study for it.
