Yesterday, Cal State Long Beach Sophomore Kurt Lang was awarded a $3,120 check for winning a contest sponsored by Associated Students Inc.
A sophomore biology major, Lang was announced the winner of Owen's Condition for Tuition program on at CSULB’s Winter Wonderland party.
The program, sponsored by Owen's Trimodal in Long Beach, challenged CSULB students to earn 30 academic credits by participating in different fitness activities at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center.
Lang was selected as the grand prize winner Thursday, while thirty-three additional prizes were given to program participants, including goodie bags, heart rate monitors, travel trainers, 3G bicycles and summer memberships for the SRWC.
In response to his winnings, Lang was excited yet shocked; “No way did I think I was going to win.”
Lang went on to say his favorite part of the program was taking part in the spin classes because the workout was fun yet challenging.
“He worked his butt off,“ said ASI commissioner Steve Lopez of Lang,“ and even more than that, Kurt encourages other students to get in shape, and that’s really what its all about.”
Lopez hopes that the ASI contest will influence other students to become involved in the SRWC and improve their physical health.
