Congratulations to all the Athletes and Unified Partners who competed in SONC JAM 2K21!

Place your 5 flags on your chair, making sure they are spread out and easy to pull
Make sure both feet are behind your starting cones
Once your time starts start running towards your flags
Pull one flag at a time and back peddle to the start line. Once you reach the start line drop your flag and run back to grab the next flag. (Be sure you only grab one flag at a time!)
The timer stops when you grab and drop your last flag at the start line
The amount of time it took you to complete this drill will be your score for this drill
