COACHES CORNER-
Sami: I laughed when I heard Will at morning run ask “have you seen any bears….not including Zack?”
Lucy: During Sufferfest Jabes added a push-up to the inch worm stretch and said “this is what savages do”
Also, girls in New Dorm were exchanging phone numbers/insta accounts with each other and were talking about how much they’re going to miss each other and how much they don’t want to leave ELITEAM 🙁
Morgan: I was inspired when Christian told me during Sufferfest that “i’ve never sweat this much before”
Jess: I loved watching Alice beat all the fourteen year old boys in the hill sprints…girl power.
Also, I was inspired by Pippa’s enthusiasm for an activity in Sufferfest she said, “I love the river walk! I wish we could do it again”
Devon: My team insisted on doing some river burpees and push-ups before walking back down the river during the river walk challenge!
Tasha: At first some of the girls in my group didn’t want to get wet. So they tried to opt out of the river pushups, but in the end Finn, Lily, Mayson and Anna said “oh well”, hopped down, and did them anyways.
Julia: I walked in on my entire dorm fake crying because they didn’t want camp to end.
