A variety of sports and challenges took place from January to September, from more traditional competitive activities such as volleyball, rounders and tennis, to the more unusual options of bat and trap, Gladiators, and even a pub quiz.<\/p>\n<p>Although they just missed out on the overall top spots, \u201cLet\u2019s Get Physical\u201d reached the podium in a number of individual events, coming 1st place in both table tennis and petanque, and 2nd place in basketball, badminton, ultimate Frisbee and The Cube.<\/p>\n<p>Well done to everyone who took part, and thank you to those who supported the teams during the competition. Special thanks goes to Dr Kathryn Harriss, a research associate in SPS, for organising all the participants\u00a0and for her motivational efforts as team captain. We hope everyone enjoyed it, and that it has encouraged even more people to participate next year!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"kent-social-links\"><li><a href='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/2017\/09\/20\/sps-team-lets-get-physical-comes-4th-in-vc-cup\/&amp;t=SPS Team \"Let\u2019s Get Physical\" comes 4th in VC Cup' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-facebook' title='Share via Facebook'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=SPS Team \"Let\u2019s Get Physical\" comes 4th in VC Cup%20https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/2017\/09\/20\/sps-team-lets-get-physical-comes-4th-in-vc-cup\/' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-twitter' title='Share via Twitter'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/2017\/09\/20\/sps-team-lets-get-physical-comes-4th-in-vc-cup\/' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-google-plus' title='Share via Google Plus'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='http:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/2017\/09\/20\/sps-team-lets-get-physical-comes-4th-in-vc-cup\/&amp;title=SPS Team \"Let\u2019s Get Physical\" comes 4th in VC Cup' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-linkedin' title='Share via Linked In'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='mailto:content=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/2017\/09\/20\/sps-team-lets-get-physical-comes-4th-in-vc-cup\/&amp;title=SPS Team \"Let\u2019s Get Physical\" comes 4th in VC Cup' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-email' title='Share via Email'><\/i><\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On their first ever outing, the School of Physical Sciences (SPS) team &#8220;Let&#8217;s Get Physical&#8221; gave an excellent performance in the 2017\u00a0Vice Chancellor\u2019s Cup, coming &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/2017\/09\/20\/sps-team-lets-get-physical-comes-4th-in-vc-cup\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51921,"featured_media":147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[124],"tags":[19174,124,33809,95650],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/51921"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":148,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144\/revisions\/148"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/spskent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
