VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. --  Team V members competed in the Wing Sports Day here Aug. 17.

Sports day is organized by the 30th Force Support Squadron Fitness Center staff and offers squadrons and organizational teams a chance to compete in a variety of sporting events throughout the day.

"Participants were able to break away from their daily duties, get out of the office and have some fun," said Pamela Coffey, 30th Force Support Squadron Fitness and Sports Center director. "Events like this boost morale and promote teamwork through a bit of friendly competition."

More than 1,450 base members participated in this event.

Members from 30th Civil Engineer Squadron finished the competition with the first place championship.

"We work hard and we play hard and that personality comes out on the sports field," said Chief Master Sgt. Roy Lapioli, 30th CES superintendent. "It is a good feeling that we are able to communicate to the base that we work together as a team and in this case we had the opportunity to win as a team."
