The MU CAFNR Week Road Rally, sponsored by Agriculture Systems Management, was held on Sunday, Sept. 21. Teams were given sets of clues to find various checkpoints across Columbia. At each checkpoint, the teams were told to complete tasks such as finishing math problems and finding random items. Ten teams were involved in the event including groups from Alpha Gamma Rho, GDI and Sigma Alpha.

The first team to arrive back at Trowbridge, GDI 1, is clocked in, while a team member verifies the mileage on the truck.

Sigma Alpha 1 team members, junior Whitney Wallace, junior Cheryl Ficken and freshman Sami Freeman, help do calculations on their cell phones while senior Megan Gallup records the answers.

Alpha Gamma Rho 1team member, freshman Brandon Thiel, jokingly shows off his team's find for “thong.”

Member of Alpha Gamma Rho 2 team, freshman Dale Ryan, jots down some math problems on scrap paper.

Road Rally leaders, senior Matt Holtman and graduate student Ryan Mauzey, check to see if GDI 3 team has all the required items such as a banana, thong and maple leaf.

GDI 3 team member Erin Vest quickly writes down the answers to the last lengthy math problem.

Checkpoint No.1 proctor, freshman Trent Braungardt, checks over teams’ answers before they can get their next sheet of clues.	After the GDI 2 team finished their paper, they sped away from Checkpoint No. 1 at Bethyl Church Road toward the next location.
