Intramural Basketball Championship
By Bonnie Uresti, Marketing Writer
On Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 60 teams battled it out in the Intramural Basketball Championship games held in the Texas State Student Recreation Center. Only a select few, won the honor of wearing the much esteemed Intramural Championship t-shirts.
The IM Sports champion teams include:
Co- Rec- "Slumdog Millionaires"
Fraternity- "Sigma Nu"
Women's- "Player's Inc."
Men's A- "Goonsquad"
Men's B- "Brew Crew"
"I thought we played a lot of good teams throughout the season. We had a couple of close games that could have gone either way, but we had some players step up and make key shots down the stretch," Ben Melear, “Brew Crew” member, said.
The "Brew Crew" honed in on their team skills by playing IM flag football in the fall. Yet, they get serious with basketball, which is their true passion.
The win was a great accomplishment for the "Brew Crew" since the playoffs were a struggle to get through.
"We were excited because that's all we talked about since last semester," Jacob Browning said.
The whole team stepped up their game, which propelled them into the championship games. "We won three of our playoff games by a combined seven points so a couple of teams had us pretty nervous," Everett Towell said.
The team is proud to wear the much coveted Intramural Champion t-shirts.
"Not everyone gets to wear them," Browning said.
"It was great winning because I've never won any kind of sports tournament so it was fun," Towell said.

Personal Fitness Advice
Madelynn Perez
Motivation, determination and a healthier outlook on life can be gained through the help of a well qualified personal trainer. Although most students are unaware of the great personal trainers we have on campus, it’s still not too late to get in on the action.
The help and health benefits that come along with personal training can last a life time and “improve your overall health awareness,” says Chance Lauer a freshman majoring in international studies.
Personal trainers keep clients well motivated and focused on their workout, with little to no distractions. Lauer also feels that personal training has benefited his “over all better health,” and he is convinced it helps him “release stress and sleep better at night.
” College students are always bombarded with stress, from classes and life. With finals coming up, we all need a personal trainer to come to the rescue.
Many students are unaware of the personal trainers available to them on campus. To add to the benefits, they offer, at a fraction of the cost compared to other sessions gyms in San Marcos. Many of the personal trainers have a flexible schedule and will work around students class schedules.
“I have had clients as early as six a.m.,” Billy Grieser a junior majoring in finance says. What a great way to start a day at Texas State!
When asked what he enjoyed most about being a personal trainer, Brent DeWolfe a physical education graduate student said “Seeing his clients physique improve and their confidence grow.
” Now that you know all the great benefits a personal trainer provides, what are you waiting for? Sign up with a one today!

I would like to say thank you to the Outdoor Recreation Staff for hosting our Jackson Hall program yesterday. It was a success, and everyone who attended had a great time. If you can somehow let Ben, Connor, and Ava know that we really appreciate their help, and I made a video and posted it on YouTube.
Can you forward it to them and the staff, and let them know they're doing an awesome job.
Thanks again,
