A special congratulations to Lynn for winning the black t-shirt for this month. A long time coming, Lynn has been steady with her approach, bringing her best every day and encouraging everyone relentlessly. The Form Queen, she is a stickler for good technique and is the perfect role model for other campers to follow. Thank you Lynn for being a rock for us to strive to be.

Benchmarks Part 1

I think we might have to do some drug testing:)

We had personal bests all over the place and had camp records stand up then fall and new standards posted.

New Camp Records in Push ups for both men and women is 111!!!! And to make it better, it is a husband and wife that hold the record! Something smells a little sketchy:)

Also a standard was tied in women's pull ups at 7 then shattered later in the day with a new mark of 13!

Mens pull up was also shattered with a new standard of 18. And tomorrow a new group takes their licks at Benchmarks!
