What is Junior Olympics?
Junior Olympics is an annual tradition at Leyden. In the weeks leading up to Spring Break, the freshmen, sophomore, junior & senior classes can participate in various events and earn points. Then the day before Spring Break, the Junior Olympics take place in the field house. During Junior Olympics, the four classes compete against each other in a variety of "olympic" style games. Points are awarded to the winners of each game. At the end of the games, the Junior Olympics winning class is announced and gets bragging rights until next years' games.
