Hour of Power



The Bantams Celebrate After The Hour of Power

On November 8, 2011 the Bantams participated in the Ted Mullin “Hour of Power.” The Relay event has grown from 15 teams in its first year to 146 teams in 2011, with almost 7,000 athletes participating. Over the past five years, participants in the "Hour of Power” raised over $265,000 for the Ted Mullin Fund for Pediatric Sarcoma Research at the Comer Children's Hospital at the University of Chicago.  The relay style set was Ted’s favorite, and hist former Carleton College team felt it would be an appropriate memorial to Ted to run a “Leave it in the Pool” practice consisting of continuous relays, any stroke, all-out swimming, for one hour, with the objective of keeping all relays in each lane on the same length. All 146 teams across the country complete the set during the same hour.
