Summer Recap

Fall 2018 is underway - students are back and classes have started!  It's been fun catching up with the skiers and hearing about their summer experiences.  Here's a quick rundown of some cool things our people did this summer:

- Sara manipulated fruit fly DNA in a lab on campus

- Russell built and tested medical micro devices at Michigan Tech

- Fiona taught summer school for homeless children in Portland

- Noah led mountain bike trips and worked events at Galena Lodge

- Lily did her canoe thing in the Ontario wilderness

- Ian worked as a qualitative analysis intern at LL Bean (most Ian quote ever:  "Didn't sleep much last night because too excited for intern BBQ.")
- Gabby, Elliot, and Christian attended the Eastern REG camp, where they did some quality training and crushed the fitness testing.  On the strength of these efforts and last season's results, Gabby and Elliot were two of just 14 juniors nominated to the National Elite Group - outstanding!
- And, of course, everyone had all kinds of unique training adventures in interesting places around the country.

I'm really proud of our skiers for the way they balance training with so many other fun and worthwhile endeavors.  The best part of coaching Bowdoin Nordic is working with all of these talented and interesting people - so glad to have them back!
