Great effort at practice these last few days. We are excited to see you all perform at our first race in just 2 weeks!
Our end of season banquet has been scheduled for Sunday, November 8th at 5:30 pm at the St. Charles Conference Center. Please add this to your calendar! For those of you not familiar with the end of season banquet, this is our opportunity to celebrate the season and recognize all of your accomplishments as individuals and as a team.
This is our practice schedule for the week (All practices at 5:30 pm (EXCEPT FRIDAY AT 9AM - Next week we will move to 3pm):
Monday 8/31 - Meet at Mountain View track main entrance (AKA Cross Country Tree) for an endurance run and strength workout.
Tuesday 9/1 - Meet at RiverBend Park for hill repeats at Overturf Butte
Click here for regular route
Wednesday 9/2 - Meet at RiverBend Park for good form running clinic instructed by Max King courtesy of Footzone.
Thursday 9/3 - Meet at Drake Park for mile repeats
Friday 9/4 - Meet at Shevlin Park for a trail run at 9:00 AM - Captains will lead practice
Saturday 9/5 - 2015 XC Challenge - We are encouraging broad participation in this event but also want to warn athletes that this will be a strenuous activity and while the total minimum distance from the start location to end location is about 8 miles, there is the possibility that your team could cover a greater distance depending on your navigation skills. Think of this event as a repeat of our run up Cultus Mountain. If you were able to run up Cultus Mountain you are more than capable of participating in this event. We will also be able to access runners by vehicle in the case of an emergency.
We will meet in the Mountain View Bus Loop at 7:30 am to carpool to the start location of the XC Challenge. We will be travelling on dirt forest service roads to access the start so we will need drivers with high ground clearance vehicles (No convertible VW Rabbits). Once drivers reach the destination we will shuttle them back to the start to pickup their vehicles so that they can return for their passengers and transport them back to Mountain View. The ending time of this event is difficult to predict but we should have all athletes back to Mountain View by 1 pm at the latest - hopefully earlier.
For this event please dress for hot, sunny weather. You should wear a hat, sunblock, sunglasses and run with a water bottle. No phones or other electronic devices will be allowed. An adult will be present with each group to assist with emergencies.
Sunday 9/6 - Rest (You will need it after the XC Challenge!)

Bigfoot 10K
Parents & Athletes -
The Bigfoot run is coming up on Sunday, September 13th and is a benefit for all of the local cross country programs. Bigfoot is the longest standing running race in Central Oregon and donates all proceeds to area high school cross country programs, but the proceeds are dependent on participants… and that's where you come in!
Our team will be helping to put the race on so no students will be participating but we need parents, other family members, friends, etc to sign up! There is an option on the form to indicate which high school you want to support, which will increase the amount that we receive from the event. Please consider participating if you are a parent and encourage others to participate as well (share at work, on email, Facebook, etc)
This is a fast 10K course with both a road and trail (Dirtyfoot) option and is a Central Oregon classic. Thank you for your support of Mountain View Cross Country and this great event!

Mark your Calendars!
Cougars,
We have an upcoming event scheduled for Saturday, September 5th that you will not want to miss! The Cross Country Challenge is best described as a competitive team style scavenger hunt/race/adventure run and will be a celebration to the end our summer training. We hope to have every athlete participate. The start time will be at about 9am and we should be all finished around 1pm.
In order to make this event possible we will also need volunteers! If you can help in one of the following ways please let Mike know.
1. "Shadow" a team. For the safety of our athletes we need several physically fit adults that can cover 5-10 miles on rugged terrain by foot or mountain bike.
2. Transport athletes and volunteers. This event will finish in a secret finish location and athletes and volunteers will need transportation back to the start to pickup vehicles.
3. Finish Setup. Email Mike for specifics.

We are also asking for your help distributing our team fundraising letter to parents, extended family, employers, and any others that be interested in supporting our program. These funds will help pay for team activities, equipment, and uniforms. A copy of the letter is available at this link. We appreciate your support!
