A little rain didn't hurt the team on Monday for the fall testing day. And by "a little" rain we're talking buckets and sheets of rain that soaked the team during the warm up!! The Canadian Strength Test Results and the King and Queen of the Cobble uphill run results can be found through our "Testing 13-14" link in the right hand column or by clicking the link here:
Testing 13-14
Here are a few phone pics from the first official day of practice:

| Isaac and Tsaina sharing a dip station in the crowded gym |

| Vanya cheering on Kalle |
 |
| Sarah and Ben on Situps |
 |
| Rain soaked heads in the situp, box jump and push up stations |
 |
| Olivia on dips |

| Jordan getting encouragement from Isaac |
The team then ran over to Pine Cobble for the hill climb. Here are a few pics. It was raining hard, so we opted out of our threshold interval to the top of Pine Cobble and chose instead for an interval running back to campus. A special shout out to freshman Jordan Fields for setting the new course record in 8 minutes flat!! Freshman Tsaina Mahlen led the charge for the women's team in 9:38, but Hannah Smith's time of 9:33 from fall 2012 still stands as the course record.

And a video from a portion of yesterday's workout. The opposite of the testing day weather. Opposite percent grade too!!
