The district race is this Friday, October 23rd. Make an extra effort this week to get 8-10 hours of sleep, a consistent 3 meals, and stay hydrated. It is especially important on Friday that you plan your diet ahead of time so that you eat a meal a few hours before your race. Students will be released from class at 11:00 am. Meet at the XC tree and we will carpool to Drake Park. The race schedule is as follows:
Varsity Girls: 1:00 pm (Warmup at 12:00 - w/Megan)
Varsity Boys: 1:30 pm (Warmup at 12:30 - w/Monty)
JV Girls: 2:00 pm (Warmup at 1 pm - w/Mike)
JV Boys: 2:30 pm (Warmup at 2 pm - w/Andy)
Cool-downs will be done with the same coach immediately following the race. Click here for a link to the course map.
We will send a separate email early this week with details for those of you that volunteered to help with setup and managing the race. Thank you for the great response!

2. Mark your calendars! Our end of the season team banquet is on November 8th at 5:30pm at the St. Charles Convention Center. All athletes and their families are invited and encouraged to attend as we look back on the season and honor this great group of kids! There will be a $15 fee for dinner for all family members but you can come and not eat if you don't want to pay - we will even have free cake for you! The team will cover the cost of athletes. Please pre-pay for parents and family members online at https://touchbase.bend.k12.or.us. Login with your Student ID number for User Name and last name as the password.
As a side note, most athletes typically dress in formal wear for this event.
3. All athletes are strongly encouraged to participate in a winter sport. Some options to consider are Nordic Skiing, Swimming, Winter Track, Basketball and Wrestling.
4. Team Shirts are still available. T-Shirts are $5 for athletes and $15 for adults. Limited sizes are available. Really nice long sleeve shirts are available to athletes only for $30. These are the same long sleeve shirts we will be using for the next few years so if you buy one now you won't need to buy another later on. We also just got team hats in that are available to both parents and athletes for $25.

5. The State Meet is coming up on October 31st and we want as many athletes as possible to attend to support our Varsity athletes and experience the atmosphere of the state meet (And be inspired to reach state in future seasons!). If you are a parent and are willing to drive athletes over on the morning of the 31st please let us know. Coaches and competing athletes will be going over on Friday but our hope is to get together a caravan of parents to bring the remaining athletes.
6. Fundraising Opportunities - We have two fundraising opportunities coming up:
a) We will be assisting with a pancake breakfast at All Seasons RV & Marine this coming Saturday morning. All proceeds from this event will go to our team. We need a minimum of 5 athletes not qualifying for the state meet (those athletes will have practice) to help at this event. Please let me know if you can attend.
Workout Schedule This Week (Meet by the XC Tree at 3pm M-T-TH-F and at 1:15 W):
Workouts this week will continue to get shorter and faster as we taper into the District meet. Length will decrease on hard workouts but you should maintain the same intensity to avoid feeling flat on Friday. Workouts for our girls varsity will be slightly altered to train through Districts and peak at the State meet.

Tuesday 10/20 - Easy Run at Drake + Strides & Corners
Wednesday 10/21 - Track Workout 2 x (400, 300, 200) (3x for Varsity Girls)
Thursday 10/22 - Easy Run to Pine Nursery + Strides & Corners
