'Sound
Body'
Mens
Sana In Corpore Sano. ‘A Sound Mind in a Sound
Body’ is the Academy motto. And, Hargrave certainly
doesn’t rest on our Academic laurels. All Cadets
are required to be engaged in some form of formal
physical activity. For most Cadets, it is one or more
of Hargrave’s outstanding sports programs. It
is their choice, but when Cadets can’t decide
they join intramurals.
Intramurals
is actually fun, but is does involve a workout. Healthy
attitudes towards personal fitness and health drive
the intramural program. Basic calisthenics, stretching
and running are a major part of the intramural practice
routine. Cadets also learn the techniques to master
these skills safely and effectively.
There are also Company wide
competitions that involve several physical challenges
for the entire Corps of Cadets. Events can include
timed sit-ups, chin-ups, push-ups, shuttles and the
Corps favorite, Tug-of-War.
