Nakata Races to MarioKart Win

In this year’s video game event, Mario Kart Medley, it was a victory for the Juniors. Jarrid Nakata ’17 finished first in an extremely close race against a sophomore in Mario Kart 64, the specific version of the game chosen for the final match. After both competitors ran into the train going around the track and each pulled some lucky items, it was anyone’s game. However, it was one last red shell that secured the victory for Nakata, and no item could help his opponent catch up. The event in general was a thrill to witness, with some races being close and others not so much, but it all culminated into an intense final match that kept fans guessing until the final stretch.
