It\u2019s Bobcat Challenge week but some Quinnipiac students and student athletes are not really sure on whether this competition is the best way to raise money.<\/p>\n

Bobcat Challenge is back and with only one day left, but do Quinnipiac student know what it is?<\/p>\n

 Let\u2019s take a look at what some students said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI do not know anything about the Bobcat Challenge. If I had to guess what it is maybe they split up the student body into different teams and had them compete in like fun games or something like that\u2026 I\u2019m not sure,\u201d senior Quinnipiac student Kyle Gaughan said.<\/p>\n

I also asked senior Quinnipiac student Alessandro Woodbridge and he did not know what it was either. \u201cNo, what\u2019s the Bobcat Challenge?\u201d Is it something like, I don\u2019t know, you have to act like bobcats or something, like who can act like the the bobcat, the mouse?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bobcat Challenge is a race between 21 Division 1 teams where they compete against each other to see which team can raise more money in only 5 days.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Student athletes need the support from alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff and fans. However, some player\u2019s personal reactions to this challenge were not as everyone expected<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay so I think it\u2019s a bit weird, considering a lot of people are on scholarships here and we come to expect, especially international students, not to be asked for money, you are always told that athletics has a lot of money\u2026\u201d Division 1 Field Hockey Athlete Anna Wamlsley said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually don\u2019t like the fact that they force us to do it because it\u2019s a donation you shouldn\u2019t be forced to do, and also you are paying for your own traveling and stuff\u2026\u201d Division 1 Golf Athlete Elena Ybarra said.<\/p>\n

Another Division 1 Gold player, Queenie Lai also said \u201cI think it is a good idea, but personally from an athlete standpoint, I think it may not be the most efficient way to raise funds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bobcat Challenge is over with the Women\u2019s Field Hockey team as the winners. They had 465 donors with over $15,000 raised. They will also be receiving $3,000 as their price. <\/p>\n
