Team spirit is a vital component of any successful cooperative endeavor, especially in athletics.
So say the four team members who represented the University in the final race of the 22nd annual Chase Corporate Challenge Series on New York City's Park Avenue. Team pride helped boost the co-ed team to a stellar performance at the international race earlier this month. To get to New York, the University's team took first place in the local 3.5-mile qualifier held around Highland Park in June. Company pride and support played a huge role in the victory, says runner Patty Guinan. It is really nice to run with your place of work.
