West Creek PreCalculus Strongman Competition

As you know, Ms. Poszywak competes in strongman competitions. Any strongman competition that is put on has multiple events a competitor will compete in. Competitors are able to be done with an event at any point point while competing in it. However, if they choose to end early, they will place lower in the event and not earn as many points. Some events are timed and other events increase in difficulty until the competitor maxes out and isn't able to complete any more of the event.

For this West Creek PreCalculus Strongman Competition, there will be 12 events: Yoke Carry, Fingal Finger, Stone Carry, Farmers Walk, Altas Stone Loading, Deadlift Medley, Tire Flip, Truck Pull, Log Press, Circus Dumbbell, Mouser Block over Bar, and Rolling Thunder. Each event will focus on a different type of math problem that we have done this semester (everything trigonometric and vectors).

You will only have one attempt at each event, so make sure that it counts! The competitors that end in 1st-5th place at the end of the competition will win a prize.

This competition also has a bonus event: DUCK WALK! If you choose to compete in this event, the points earned will be applied to the Trigonometric Identities Test (ONLY). Good luck!!
