In this autobiographical presentation, a dancer records her thoughts at key points during Thon so she can share her perspective on the event. --Natalie Sheehan
Throughout THON weekend, everybody had their own tips on how to stay motivated, stay dancing and stay sane.
Some people thought the best way to stay awake was embarking on a 1000-word puzzle while others provided piggy-back rides across the floor.
After learning their fate for the national tournament last week, the Penn State Icers traveled to Rhode Island for the Eastern States Collegiate Hockey League (ESCHL) playoffs last weekend. Penn State fell to Delaware in the semifinals on Saturday. The Icers finish out the regular season against Rutgers before heading to the national tournament to play Rhode Island.
From Family Hour to the final reveal, the last four hours of THON can be an emotional roller coaster. Check out some of the images our photographers captured during the climax of THON 2011.
After almost two days of dancing, getting someone to "shake ya groove thing" isn't an easy task. But for local cover band, Go Go Gadjet, it appeared to be second nature. Playing crowd favorites like Usher and Taio Cruz, THON 2011 was alive with some impressive sing-alongs. I didn't know Penn State had that kind of pipes!
Penn State shattered its previous THON fundraising record this afternoon when the 2011 Overall Committee flipped over its now iconic white placards to reveal that this 2011 total was $9,563,016.09-- an increase of more than $1.7 million over 2010. Tomorrow there will be time to look back at the weekend and remember the memories created over 46-hours this February in the Bryce Jordan Center. For now though, revel in this: your university's better than any other when it comes to what masters most.
