Maine vs. World and Name the Skier Pt. 3

We've had a few good days of training since the Eastern Cup - conditions at Pineland have held up well. With no classes until next week, we've had time for a few fun distractions as well. Yesterday, Zach took a big crew down to Portland, where they spent some quality time in the Old Port and watched a Pirates game. The 4th annual Maine vs. World competition is also underway - Maine jumped out to a commanding lead by winning the sprint relay and the sensory awareness challenge, but World rallied with victories in basketball and trivia. Undaunted, Maine responded by totally dominating this afternoon's Polasky Ball game to take a 3-2 lead. Just a couple more event to go - stay tuned for the dramatic conclusion.

We also have some other competitions happening this weekend - some sort of ski race type thing. Bates Carnival/Broomhall Cup - tomorrow and Saturday at Black Mountain. Here we go! Updates to follow. In the meantime, try to identify these 2 current Bowdoin Nordic skiers:



No gold stars for correct guesses - they're too easy. Instead, you get kicked out of the Bowdoin Nordic Fan Club if you can't get these right.
