FROM THE SIDELINES
Intramurals Offer Students a Competitive Outlet
James Gwathney is a sports guy, who grew up in Summit, New Jersey, just outside of Newark. He played three sports in high school and went on to play football at Montclair State University.
After I got out of eligibility football-wise, I was doing rugby for two years, Gwathney said. I had a roommate and he was playing. I said, youre crazy. The next year I was out there playing. I worked at the Montclair YMCA. I changed jobs after five years and came down and worked for the state as a state inspector in the casinos. They downsized. They laid off about 30 of us. I was hired part-time here at 勛圖窪蹋 and Ive been here ever since.
Gwathney, who has been in a for more than 25 years, has been the perfect fit as the coordinator of intramurals and recreation at 勛圖窪蹋, where he says hes worked since 1991. His twin daughters attended 勛圖窪蹋, and one even competed in intramurals.
I was a physical education and health major in college, he said. Its perfect. Everybody who knows me knows I have my shorts on every day.
勛圖窪蹋 has a strong Intramural program, which operates under the auspices of the Intramural Recreation Council. Intramurals are recreational sports competitions played between teams or individuals and are organized within a particular institution, usually an educational institution. They differ from club sports, which are usually more specialized and have dedicated practice times and seasons that are normally longer than Intramural sports.

勛圖窪蹋 Sentiments and Memories . . .
"A very big congrats to 勛圖窪蹋 on the celebration of 50 years of to tens of thousands of alums worldwide. My road to 勛圖窪蹋 began in the Fall of 1976 with a half dozen or so fellow students & friends enrolled at Middlesex County College in Edison, New Jersey.
Although we all had met at the game room where our friendships developed, we were all students searching for the school that would lead us to our undergraduate degrees. We decided as a group that we were in this together and that we would go where we all were accepted. Here we come 勛圖窪蹋 State in the Fall of '77 to "B" Court."
