XC video: Camp at Pickett State Park

Aug. 26, 2015

With training and team-bonding as their objectives, the members of the Vanderbilt cross country program traveled to Pickett State Park for their annual team camp.

The camp, naturally, featured plenty of running, as the athletes continued their preparations for the first meet of the season — the Belmont Opener on Sept. 5. But the camp featured much more than just conditioning. The Vanderbilt athletes also had a chance to build team chemistry during a wide range of activities, from throwing frisbees to making s’mores and all in between.

Head Steve Keith and associate head coach Rhonda Riley both believe that camp is beneficial for the members of the program in ways that can be seen throughout the season. Check out the video to get a glimpse of what took place this week.
