CALDWELL, Idaho - This afternoon, The College of Idaho swim team joined 151 teams and over 7,200 athletes across the nation for the 2011 Ted Mullin “Hour of Power” Relay for Sarcoma Research, honoring those who are fighting or have succumbed to cancer.
The event is in honor of former Carleton College swimmer Ted Mullin, who passed away from synovial sarcoma, a rare soft-tissue cancer, in 2006.
The event, held in each school’s home pool, was a one-hour, all-out practice, consisting of continuous relays, using any stroke.
Funds raised during the event act as seed funding for the University of Chicago’s pediatric sarcoma research program. To make a donation, contact Andy Clark at aclark@carleton.edu and mention The C of I swim team.
