Intramurals have been going strong with a three-on-three tournament, Feb. 13 and a Hearts tournament, Feb. 9.
The three-on-three tournament was in the west gym, Feb. 13.
Beau Tatro, intramural coordinator, said there were 15 men interested in the event, so some teams had four players.
Reggie Malvo, Houston; Julian Jones, Dallas; Carl Rolle, Nassau, Bahamas; and Chris Turner, Austin, Texas; won the men's tournament.
In the women's category, Beth Walz, Ellis; Bethany Colburn, and Breanna Haehn, both from Hugoton; beat the only other team with a score of 15-14.
During this tournament, the teams were able to decide their own rules.
"The [students] play three-on-three all the time," Tatro said. "They should know how to set their own rules. It's a learning experience."
Tatro said if he coordinates a three-on-three tournament again, he would change a few things.
"I would have a sign up period," Tatro said. "I would have it so the teams were set ahead of time. I would also probably have set rules for the tournament."
The Intramural Hearts tournament challenged competitive minds, Feb. 9.
Cory Smith, Sublette, won the competition.
"I [played intramurals] because I thought it would be fun," Smith said. "It's fun to do college activities."
Smith, who has been playing Hearts for five years, said Hearts provides him with something to do when he's bored.
Austin Kitch, Scott City, was the only other student to compete in the game.
