Boot Camp Survivors

The fifth annual Fitness Boot Camp sponsored by Mike Porco Jr. and Porco’s Karate Academy concluded on July 23, with seven people surviving the rigorous challenges. The camp ran from 5:15 to 6:45 am, July 12 through July 23, and took advantage of the diverse terrain and physical challenges presented by the Newtown High School sports complex. Fitness Boot camp is designed to challenge each individual’s athletic and physical ability by putting them through a regimen of activities from mile runs to hill climbs and ascending descending stairs to the military barbed wire crawl. All participants are required to partake in all activities while pushing themselves to keep up with the pace, but remaining conscience of their own limits. Participants included, from left, Ron Dufner, Sarah Milas, Julia Pendagast, Lauren D’Amico, Gavin Preis, Sue Preis and Jeanette Cebry.
