Whistler Preseason Training Camps for Swim & Cross Country
By Sophie Cameron '20 and Davis Timko '21, Team Captains
Two weeks before school started, the senior cross country and swim teams headed to Whistler for a training camp. Over five days, students tested their endurance on the Ascent Trail on Blackcomb Mountain and their fitness in challenging workouts in the pool and around Lost Lake. They also had fun during team-bonding events, such as the scavenger hunt (where they dressed up in 80s outfits), Mountain Dew Mile, and a fun afternoon at Rainbow Lake. The camp was a great success and brought together students on both teams.

Thank you to all the athletes who participated in the camp. It was an enjoyable end to the summer and a terrific start to the 2019-2020 cross country and swim seasons. Go, Wolves!
