A soft glow surrounded the track in Ahearn Field House, while names of the survivors and the deceased scrolled on the screen. The remembrance ceremony ended, tears were wiped away and the walk continued. Trini Najera, Relay for Life chair and senior in family studies and human services, said she was moved by the entire night. It ' s great to see college students come together for a great cause, she said. When you finally see what you have worked so hard for and the end product, you ' re like ' Yeah, that ' s what we worked for, and we are all helping. ' Throughout the all-night event April 11-12, campus organizations led activities. There was never a dull moment the entire evening, Kasey Nelson, junior in occupational therapy, said. I think the best part would have to be when the guys participated in the Miss Relay competition. It was early in the morning when we needed energy and to see these guys run around in women ' s clothing dancing for money, I mean what else could you need? Though Relay was scheduled to take place in Memorial Stadium it was moved to Ahearn due to weather. We had to change everything at noon the day of the event, Najera said. However, the campus came through. It was kind of ironic actually, everyone coming together and helping each other out for a greater cause — the exact mission of what Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society is all about.
