UNT Recreational Sports helped kick off First Flight week with a bang on Aug. 20 by hosting the Rec Sports Extravaganza at the Pohl Recreation Center. A record number of nearly 2,000 students, faculty, staff and family members attended the two-and-a-half-hour event where they learned more about the Rec Center’s extensive programs while enjoying free t-shirts, pizza, drinks and live music from UNT alumnus Triston Coomes.

The annual event also offered a variety of free programs for attendees, including climbing, group exercise, a No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em tournament and a Sport Club resource fair.
