MNC college or and college-bound dudes getting after it
It was a much-needed recovery week after a busy schedule of races, camps, and travel recently. Although we’re not quite done with summer, a few cooler days and some grey rain on Saturday definitely put a bit of the “November feels” into the air recently. The MNC Juniors have had an incredible summer and it’s hard to believe school is around the corner. Fall starts have started up, and even more is changing in the next few weeks.
MNC Academy has been off and running all summer, and our student-athletes have been crushing it with passing grades of at least a B and plenty higher in college courses left and right.

What’s more, we’ve seen huge growth in the summer program and are working with lots of athletes every day and at every level. In the past, I’d run to get the camera if more than 10 people were at practice. Now, it feels empty if there’s fewer than 20 of us skiing laps at the Range. Wednesday and Friday, typically low-turnout days, have also jumped up thanks to more skiers taking part in 5-day training and putting in the work.
We’ve also been fortunate to be able to use the MMU gym this summer, meaning there was no extra cost to work on good strength training…something that’s often been difficult to coordinate and structure in the past. I’d say the huge double pole test PRs are a good indicator that things are paying off.

So, where next? We’re heading into a new era for the Juniors and as any of them (ok, and me too) might say “the hype is real”. We’re offering more training and opportunity than ever before with MNC Academy, but also keeping our traditional structures of 1- and 5-day training options, too. There’s lots of ways to stay involved or get involved. So even if it’s raining out, we’ll keep pushing hard and having a good time doing it:
