For the third year in a row, Community Cup presented by the Columbus Foundation set new a new high mark for teams and athletes! We added two new sports - a Pickleball Tournament and Relay Race - and updated others including changing Frisbee Toss to Frisbee Golf, and Golf Chipping to Golf Putting.
 

The Dos Hermanos Tailgate Zone was bustling all day long as thousands of athletes walked back and forth between the field and their tents. Eclipse Creative Home Court had 25 companies offering samples, prizes and discounts.

On the field, we had close competitions in all divisions. Safelite continued it's hot streak in DI dominance, winning its fourth straight Cup. Ohio State Athletics returned to the top of the DII podium. The Columbus Blue Jackets won DIII, which they've done in every odd year since 2019. Sports Imports came out on top in DIV, ending a dynastic run by the City of Obetz.

Congratulations to all the champions! Go here to see every winner since 2018.
