Loading xml without loops

Problem : I can load the values from my xml however the values are being loaded repeatedly for 4 times -- in this case i'm getting the person's position. however i do not see any loops in my method that could cause this. I would like to stop it at the first time when all players positions have been loaded. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

My xml and code are as follows :

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
     <character>
       <persons>
         < person id="0" name="James">
           <position x="0.1289005" y="0.8196044" z="0.03671255" />
         </person>
         
         <person id="1" name="Dean">
           <position x="0.07401515" y="0.8196141" z="-0.001237739" />
         </person>
     
     </persons>
     </character>

and a load xml method :

 void LoadXML()   {
 { path = Application.dataPath + name + ".xml";
    XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument ();
     if (File.Exists (path)) {
     xmlDoc.Load (path);
             
 XmlNodeList nodeList =  xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("position");
             
             for(int i=0; i<nodeList.Count; i++){
                 
                 string x = nodeList[i].Attributes["x"].Value;
                 string y = nodeList[i].Attributes["y"].Value;
                 string z = nodeList[i].Attributes["z"].Value;
             
                 Debug.Log(x+" "+y+" "+ z);
                 
             }Debug.Log("stop");
             }
     }

The output looks something like this

 x , y , z (positions for person 1)
 x, y , z  (positions for person 2)
 stop
 x , y , z (positions for person 1)
 x, y , z  (positions for person 2)
 stop
 x , y , z (positions for person 1)
 x, y , z  (positions for person 2)
 stop
 x , y , z (positions for person 1)
 x, y , z  (positions for person 2)
 stop
