August 26, 2023 by Daniel Curd Leave a Comment

Wildcat Week hosted the annual Mentor Group Olympics on Thursday. A total of 32 Mentor Groups took part in a range of games, from the classic one-legged race to Hungry Hungry Hippos, not forgetting ACU trivia and the fast-paced 9 Square. This year’s victors, Mentor Group 22, clinched the prestigious title of Olympic Champions, earning them a coveted spot in the front row for the Back to School Bash featuring Aaron Watson and Jenna Paulette on Aug. 25th.
