Summer Training kicks off in Ft. Kent, Maine

Athletes from around Aroostook County and Southern Maine gathered in Ft. Kent for the summer’s first training camp. A well energized staff from the Maine Winter Sports Center and U.S. Biathlon Team greeted the athletes as they arrived at the Lodge, the newer apartments on the campus of the University of Maine-Ft. Kent. Focusing on the basics, body position in both classic and skate skiing as well as biathlon shooting position were high on the list. “We’re trying to drill the basic fundamentals. If the athletes can learn these then we can build off of this foundation and we’ll see some great improvements,” stated MWSC Coach Will Sweetser.
