McGill Team Challenge 2013 - Kick of the Week, and Tasty Race

If your new to Kick of the Week, here's how it goes. It's awarded to the racer that throws down the most epic "kick" in a race. The race must awesome, and the kick can last the entire race. Kick of the Week is voted on by the team after the meet, and the winner's are blessed with the honour of wearing the Kick of the Week jacket for the week. Tasty race however is given to the overall tastiest race of the weekend (self-explanatory I suppose).

I won't lie to you. The videos below are low quality and the Crack Recap was pretty low energy. Next week I do solemnly swear that we'll have better quality and much more energy.
