Ole Miss Competing in BattleFrog College Championship for Second Year

Ole Miss will compete in the BattleFrog College Championship for the second straight year.

Ole Miss will compete in the BattleFrog College Championship for the second straight year.

University of Mississippi students have proven that they excel in competitions both academic and athletic, and that includes BattleFrog.

No, I didn’t just misspell “football.” Ole Miss students recently competed in the second season of the BattleFrog College Championship in Atlanta, with the highlights airing next week on ESPN.

The competition sends participants through an obstacle course race inspired by U.S. Navy Seals training. Teams must navigate a 400-meter relay and 20 other obstacles along the quarter-mile course, and the fastest advance through the tournament.

Last year, four students represented the university in the single-elimination competition, facing off against 16 other teams. In the final round, a team from the United States Military Academy at West Point narrowly defeated the Ole Miss contingent.

Now, the second-place Ole Miss team returns to compete for the Trident Cup and a grand prize scholarship award of $10,000.

Don’t miss this competition, which airs at 8:30 p.m. June 30 on ESPN.
