The end of summer training culminated in an amazing week of testing. Although it was a hot (and difficult) week, the athletes pushed through to achieve some big goals.

A few highlights from the week:
Sam Gallaudet broke a long-standing DP Test record with a 2 second margin and a time of 9:05. The previous record was set by Gavin McEwen in 2015 and had stood for 8 years. Congrats, Sam!
Five athletes - Calvin, Nathan, Milo, Abby, and Jasper - solidified PRs in ALL THREE tests during the week. Great work!
Many others completed all three tests for the first time, or PRed in 2/3 of the tests.
