<p>Department of Physical Education juniors won the “Best Athletic Spirit Award” for their participation in the athletic competition as well as their offering various services, including all kinds of administrative work and organizing the entire Sports Day activities, when the two-day event ended today.</p>
<p>"This is an alternative success or us,” said Lin Shu-fan (林書範), a junior from the department.</p>
<p>Prior to this year’s event, the “Best Athletic Spirit Award” usually went to the team with the most medals.
