Final 2015 Weekly Update

Lady Cougars 2nd at State!

Congratulations to our girls on an incredible performance at the state meet!  Our top 4 runners finished within the top 12 overall, setting the team up for an impressively low score of just 49 points!  What a great way to end a fantastic season!  We are looking forward to having our boys back at State again next year too!  Thank you to everyone that came out to support the girls on Saturday!  Here are results:

Other Reminders:

1. Our end of the season team banquet is This Sunday, 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 $14.50 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.  Please send us an email if you WILL NOT be attending the banquet OR if you will need a vegetarian meal as we need a headcount for total meals.

As a side note, most athletes typically dress in formal wear for this event.

2. All athletes are strongly encouraged to participate in a winter sport.  Some options to consider are Nordic Skiing, Swimming, Winter Track, Basketball and Wrestling.  If you plan to run during the winter, take a few weeks of before rebuilding your base for track or cross country next summer.  Take a solid 1-2 weeks of from running altogether and then you can think about running 2-3 days a week for a few easy miles.  If you have any questions on training during the off-season let Mike or Megan know!

3. Team shirts and hats 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.  Hats are available to both parents and athletes for $25.  We will have these at the team banquet if you are interested in purchasing anything.

4. Remember to turn in your uniform (all four items - jacket, shorts, jersey, pants) or you will be fined.  Please turn these into Andy in room C-3 this week.
