Athletes Attend Pre-Season Camp

Athletic Director Andrew West '92 offers the following report on exciting experiences at pre-season camp for two Panther teams:

After a long and restful summer, the Browning boys set out to Camp Mah-Kee-Nak to get a head start on training and put the teams in a better position to start the season.This was the first year that the cross country team joined us, and I have to say, it was a huge success.We had a record number of boys attend this summer, topping out at 34 soccer players and 10 cross country runners.Although all the boys trained, practiced hard and gave it their all, the one thing I found most impressive was the camaraderie and wonderful attitudes of all the boys.The senior members of both teams took it upon themselves to make the camp all-inclusive and not treat any of the younger boys any differently than they treated each other.It was a breath of fresh air and one that made me very proud to have these boys represent us moving into the school year.The camp director described it best when he said, "You guys are the best group we have all summer, and we look forward to you coming back anytime.I hope you feel like this is your home!” His response is all due to the respectfulness and the maturity of our crew!
