After one successful year of the Mr. Spartan competition, Mr. Zeisloft put the ax to the competition after too many scheduling conflicts, despite an increased number of willing participants.

“The biggest reason [Mr.Spartan] was cancelled was that it was overbooked with another school event that we didn’t know about,” Mr. Zeisloft said, “and we weren’t able to find a date to reschedule that would allow all the participants to participate, and that the facilities would be available.”

The unfortunate news about the contest is particularly disappointing for former Mr. Spartan winner Wesley Flack.

“I’m disappointed I won’t get to crown the next one, but hopefully they will have it next year,” Flack said.

While this event is unfortunate, there is no need to worry for current underclassmen. The contest will return next year.

“It will take place next year,” Mr. Zeisloft said.  “We are very disappointed we had to cancel the event.”
