… 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, untested and unproven freshmen, Edouard Reuss and Andrew Partridge, faced off against tested and proven seniors, Nate Chu and Jackson Vonderhorst. 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 the freshmen upstarts, take down the old shuttlecock stalwarts in a riveting series. Congratulations to our Shuttlecock Showdown Champions and all our participants!
On winning, Partridge shared, "Nothing better than hitting around some shuttlecocks with the guys on a Sunday afternoon. Shoutout to everyone that showed up and great end to Founder’s Week," while fellow freshmen and winner, Reuss stated, "Thanks to everyone that came out to play and especially to Father Ralph who convinced us to sign up 15 minutes before the tournament started!"
