The Alumni competition will crown winners of five different categories: Odd and even graduating years, male and female teams, fastest male and fastest female alumni, earliest graduating class male and female, and most participants from a single graduating class. Participants can mail their registration using the alumni entry form or on-line registration which will ask if you're an alumni and your graduation year.
