Extra Credit Challenge (ALL CLASSES)

This extra credit opportunity will require a bit of web-based research, but it is worth a FREE TEST GRADE of 100 POINTS to the first student from *EACH* class section to successfully complete the challenge as outlined below.

GOOD LUCK!

The Assignment:
On Saturday, October 15, 2011, Mr. Meehan will be running in a half marathon race somewhere in the Old Line State. Where is the race? 
You'll have to figure that out for yourself. (Hint: Matt Schaub will be visiting the exact same location the following afternoon.) Once you've figured out where the race is happening, you should be able to locate the website for the race itself in no time.

Your extra credit challenge will be to keep your eyes peeled for the race results (which should be posted on the race website some time late on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning!!!).

The first student from each class to post on THIS BLOG ENTRY with:

1) Your Name

2) Your Class Section, and 
3) The time it takes Mr. Meehan to FINISH the half marathon

will receive a free extra credit test grade of 100 points.
