The MetroWest Daily News swung into town to cover Wellesley College’s hooprolling race for graduating seniors on Saturday. Always a good photo opp, from the students who sleep out over night to get the best spot on the starting line to the winner (in this case, McLean, Va.’s Alex Poon, a computer science major) being given a bouquet and thrown into Lake Waban at the end. Interestingly, Poon’s mom Helen won the race back in 1982 and Alex used a hoop used by other family members in the past.

Students also commemorated the event via social media sites such as Instagram.
