… fly! And flew they did, just like the egos of all participants. This cherished event was a showcase for the Gentlemen to demonstrate their skill and prowess with racquet and shuttlecock. The Showdown saw the rise and fall of many teams, but in the end, tested and true seniors, PJ Carroll and Thomas Rybinski faced off against a group of upstarts, freshmen, Colby DeShetler and Cody Karnlov. The two teams battled it out before a crowd of badminton diehards who were treated to an excellent championship game. The spirited and lively game saw Carroll and Rybinski, take down the upstarts in a riveting series. Congratulations to our Shuttlecock Showdown Champions and all our participants!
On winning, Carroll shared, "Thomas and I battled it out with the freshmen, and in the end our experience from previous showdowns guided us to victory. It was a beautiful day in the quad and beautiful day to be a winner," while Rybinski added, "Winning such a prestigious event is quite an honor. It was a great day for Steds, and I'm glad PJ and I were able to play like champions."
