A few reminders:
1. Please remember to bring $20 to help pay for lodging for our race in Seaside next weekend - if you can't afford it let us know!  You can also pay the $20 for Seaside online by clicking here.  Your login is your student ID and password is your last name with the first letter capitalized.

2. We still have team shirts available.  T-Shirts are $5 for team members and $15 for adults.  Long sleeve shirts for guys and girls are $30.  We also have last year's team shirts available for $5 each.  Please bring cash or make checks payable to Mountain View Cross Country.  Please make separate checks for shirts and lodging.  Shirts will be available at the Bigfoot Run and at practice this week.

3. For those of you that are able, please help us at the Bigfoot run on Sunday 9/13.  All proceeds from this race are split between the Bend cross country programs based on participation on Sunday.  We will be meeting at the Les Schwab Ampitheater at 8am to receive our assignment.  We should be done by around 11am at the latest.

4. We have all of the pasta feeds for the season scheduled but could use help from parents that want to "sponsor" a snack table at each race.  The team will provide water, gatorade and tables at each race and it would just be up to you to bring some snacks for athletes after their race such as fruit, granola bars, bagels and chocolate milk.  If you are interested in sponsoring a table please send an email to cougarxc@outlook.com

5. Spike days at Footzone are going on right now.  If you want to purchase new training, race shoes or any other athletic apparel Footzone will give all high school athletes a 20% discount today and Sunday only.  Fleetfeet also offers a free spike program for all athletes that buy training shoes.

Three Course Challenge - Seaside
Our meet in Seaside on Saturday is an overnight trip.  All athletes will be dismissed after 1st period and need to be at the bus loop by 8:45am.  

We will be staying in a hotel so there is no need to bring pillows and sleeping bags.  DO BRING: uniform, money for lunch/dinner on Friday and Saturday, running and racing shoes, dry/warm clothes, cougar pal gift.

The Three Course Challenge is held at Camp Rilea - just north of Seaside.  The first race will be at 10:00 am on Saturday.  There is a $5 parking fee per vehicle at Camp Rilea.  Athletes are allowed to ride home with parents but MUST check out with a coach.  If you plan to ride home with another athlete's parent please get a signed note ahead of time.  

Since you will be missing 6 periods on Friday please let your teachers know ahead of time and get any makeup work or reschedule tests.  Remember we are students first and athletes second!
