                  Camp Excel-erate!!!!!!

The NKXC team made it's yearly pilgrimage up to Camp Squanto in Swanzy, New Hampshire.  The out of state location and lack of cell phone reception forced the teams to focus on each other without the distractions from the outside world.

The NK boys offered some photos of their experiences there. Caroline has added a couple of pictures also.



 
                                       Yes!! Hydrate!!
A few of our Senior girls from the original "Great 8" of Freshman year

                            We had a major earthquake on the day we arrived that sent the guys into the air

                                                                                            We are one big XC family
There is an obsession with ferns amongst the girls not yet understood by the coaching staff but after looking up the fern's meaning we have begun to understand more.  From canadianflowerdelivery.com, "Today, if you are giving someone a fern as a gift, you are giving them the hope that they will have confidence, shelters, wealth, and happiness. This is a great plant to give someone that you really care about."

The epicenter

A penny for your thoughts Ian?  I think the guys underestimated the power they were up against.  An "A" for effort though.

                                                                                     This is a good sign

                 Call the law offices of Vinbury, Wyllie, and Moose and tell them you mean business!

On a recent trip to California Coach McNeiece stopped by the town of McFarland and took some pictures.  On a water tower in town you can see the names from the team that inspired the new Disney XC movie.
