Dentistry drills the competition during the first ever Grad Cup
Move over Gator football and basketball, we’ve got new Champs in town! Grad Cup Champs, that is! About 70 dental students took to the field during UF’s first-ever Grad Cup, held March 26 – 31, and cleaned up the competition to win the championship and the right to carry the cup…. At least until next year!
The Grad Cup competition is a friendly, fundraising match between students from the professional schools of dentistry, law, medicine and pharmacy. About 250 students competed for supremacy in men’s and women’s divisions the sports of softball, football, soccer, volleyball and basketball.
“The women’s team was phenomenal,” said third-year dental student and women’s team captain Kelly Bliss. “They won softball, football, volleyball and soccer. They lost basketball in a thrilling overtime game! It was almost a clean sweep!”
The men’s team dominated in volleyball and softball, came in second in soccer, and finished third in basketball and football.
Grad Cup, which is slated to become an annual friendly competition, raised more than $5,000 in support of student mission trips and free legal services for disadvantaged children.
Grad Cup T’s are now on sale for $18, including shipping. To purchase a Grad Cup T-shirt, make your check out to Vincent Leth, and mail to Grad Cup T-shirts, 6280 SW 8th Place, Gainesville, Fla. 32607.
