Jacqui Gale battled in a box, got the better of a bungy
cord, dressed up as Madonna, abseiled and ate offal all in the
name of Fresher Comp glory.
The 18-year-old student, from Wellington, out-ate opponent
Thomas Leonard-Gatland in the final event yesterday
afternoon.
Faced with a plate of lung, heart, liver, eyeballs, gherkins
and whipped cream, she did not hesitate and quickly took the
title.
Having started with a group of nine on Monday, contestants
were eliminated through a series of daily challenges.
For her effort, Miss Gale won a swag of prizes - an
all-expenses-paid adventure weekend in Queenstown, a Nintendo
Wii, beauty vouchers, tours around the lower South Island, a
Highlanders season double pass, discount ski pass for the
Remarkables and a free recreation course from the Clubs and
Societies Centre.
Her favourite event of the week was the food competition
because it was "delicious", while the worst was abseiling
down the university chemistry building because it was scary.
"I've never done anything like this before. I just ticked a
box."
