At the end of the first summer training camp, a three day affair in Lake Placid, nineteen Eastern Jumpers and Nordic Combined competitors took part in races and a ski jumping competition. Competitors had an option to race on roller skis or on foot, with older skiers racing 10 km and the others skiing or running 3.5 km. One Jr-2 skier, Colin Delaney came across the line first in the 3.5 km roller ski race but then went on to finish second the 10 km event. A few 90 meter jumpers opted not to race, but were offset by racers who chose not to ski on the 90 meter hill. The jumping was a low-key affair with only one judge (Matt Cook) whose scores were tripled. Results were not provided for a Nordic Combined competition. Nick Fairall led the jumping with Colin Delaney posting the top Jr-2 result and Nina Lussi the top girl. In the races, held on Averyville Rd., Matt Delaney led the way in the 10 km roller ski race, edging younger brother Colin Delaney who easily won the 3.5 km event. In the 3.5 km. foot race, Martina Lussi topped the field of four women while Joe Novakowski finished first of the three men. The camp was organized and directed by NYSEF coach Matt Cook. A welcome presence was jumper Steve McNeil on a break from his service in the Marine Corps.
