This allowed Mench to create a virtual chariot race.
Mench said that in 2020, while Mainland was in the midst of remote learning, her Latin students created their own chariots and made a Flipgrid video. The Mainland Latin tradition is 19 years strong, but last year the chariot races looked a little bit different. There are some chariots made of different materials, like all wood or a plastic box attached to handles and wheels. They are usually crafted out of (unused) hollowed out trash cans with wheels on the bottom and handles near the top, so the equus can hold on and sprint. Latin teacher Sarah Mench offers her students extra credit for making a chariot at home. The chariots are crafted by the students.
The auriga stands in the chariot while the equus runs and pulls the chariot around Mainland’s track. Instead, student teams of two choose one equus (horse) and one auriga (charioteer). LINWOOD – Since 2003, Mainland Regional High School’s Latin students have been putting on their annual “chariot races.” And no, there are no real horses.
