The biggest day of the year concluded on Friday, March 3rd. Olympics XLIV was the first “normal” Olympics since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This past Olympics was a very successful day featuring many of its previous traditions, including a return of the entire student body into the Main Gym for all of the exciting Opening Events that were able to run in their entirety. This Olympics also saw the introduction of several new additions. Here are some Olympics event results and fun facts!
