Sure enough, some students in the stands during that last pep assembly were taking videos. So here's my face plant! I'm the one in the greyish shirt and tan pants farthest away from the stands. At the turnaround, I had to eat some ice cream (which had a half of a banana hidden in it) while my student teammate had to chug a root beer.

One thing I didn't see at the time was the principal dragging the junior team over to the ice cream and soda...
