Spike Night Feats of Guts, Grit, and Glory:

Plank-Off
A time-honored Spike Night tradition! In this battle of grit, participants will hold a plank for as long as possible, battling to be the last planker planking.

ChicknLegs Shorts of Spirit Challenge
Teams from each school will have one hour and unlimited sidewalk chalk to create an original ChicknLegs shorts design that reflects their team’s unique spirit and culture. The team that creates the most creative, hilarious, and/or clever design will be crowned the winner!

New Balance Cornhole Tournament of Champions
Pair up with a teammate to test your precision, depth perception, and fine motor skills in America’s favorite lawn game!

The Balega Basketball Blitz
Ball up your Balega socks and see how many baskets you can sink in one minute. The highest scorer walks away with a new pair of Balega socks—and eternal bragging rights!

Adidas 4×4 Popsicle Relay
Test the speed of your legs, your perseverance in the face of brain freeze, and the tenacity of your stomach as we put a frosty twist on the classic 4×4 relay by adding icy-cold popsicles to the mix!

Spike Night Spirit Stick
This coveted, highly bedazzled award will go home with the team that demonstrates the most enthusiasm, teamwork, and all-around positive energy throughout the evening. Challenge your team to take home this year’s Spirit Stick!
