congratulations, you are the nth team to arrive

the FIRST ever Stat Amazing Race has just been concluded a few hours ago. even though i wasn't one of those running around the different places around UP, i definitely enjoyed being one of the organizers and spectators. also, i always dreamed of saying the famed line "you are the nth team to arrive" gano'n pala yun. hehehe.

i really loved the fact that 11 teams joined! all of those teams composed of stat majors of different batches! whew. 11 teams... that meant 44 stat majors running around UP.

all of the teams were reaaaally competitive. one of the teams were even named 100% competitive! with their own uniforms too!


mic, gee, canter and nino
(Team 100% competitive - 3rd place)

migs, casey, earvin and bert
(Team Mai-TEAM - 2nd place)

maybe it was because of the Havaianas slippers to be given away to the champions. hehe. but this race wasn't all about physicality and wit. it was also about luck, timing, will, and making the right decisions. perhaps that's why the underdogs won the race.

congratulations to team SUPERS for winning the stat amazing race :)

kee, lea, kier and john

in behalf of the UPSSSC, we would like to thank all 11 teams that joined the race! we hope to see you all in the next stat amazing race! and hopefully, we could join the race too! haha. next year, next year! hahaha.
