Great job in Seaside this weekend Cougars. We hope you had as much fun as we did! In the large school division our girls finished 5th out of 17 teams and our boys finished 9th out of 19 teams. On top of that we had many great individual performances. For full meet results go to http://resultsdb.com/results/Seaside3CourseChallengeResults2106.pdf or http://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/Results/Meet.aspx?Meet=116914#/263.
Here are the announcements for this week:
Individual Picture Retakes/Shevlin Trail Run
Due to some difficult lighting and the opportunity to take team photos with our new uniforms we are offering individual picture retakes on Monday. We will be meeting at our usual practice start location to carpool to Shevlin Park. We will take photos and then do a trail run at Shevlin. After practice we will carpool back to Mountain View. Expect practice to run a bit later than normal - we will be back to Mountain View no later than 6pm. Don't forget to bring your new uniform!
New Uniforms/Uniform Returns
With our new uniforms handed out and mud pits behind us for this season we will be racing the remainder of the year in our new uniforms. Please wash your old jersey and shorts/spandex (if you took them) and return these at practice this week. The lost uniform fine is $20 for the old jerseys and $20 for the old shorts/spandex. These will be assessed to your student account at the end of the season if a uniform is not returned. The lost/damaged uniform fine for our new uniforms are $80 for boy jerseys, $65 for boy shorts, $55 for girl jerseys, and $40 for girl spandex. Our coaching staff has been finding lost items after every practice and race all season long. Please encourage your students to keep track of their belongings to avoid a fine. I've also mentioned previously that we want uniforms to be washed after every race to remove mud before it can stain the fabric. Please wash in cold water and hang to dry (no dryers).
Nike Pre-Nationals
This Saturday we will be traveling to Portland for the Nike Pre-Nationals Meet. I've previously mentioned that this race was not on our original race schedule but was picked up due to a desire from many athletes on the team to attend. Because it was a late addition to the schedule and our coaching staff feels it is important to allow the opportunity for a week off from racing during the season, attending this race is optional. The following athletes have committed to attend:
Kyla, Kyanna, Preston, Serene, Jordan, Chaunze, Lauryn, Sydney, Carsen, Nolan, Noah M, Jayden, Madison, Drake, Forrest, Maddie, Emily, Evan, Chisel, William, Haiden, Nate, Tyler, Kendall, Vanessa, Mallory, Brooke, Kelsey, Mckenna, Anya, Rebekah, Erin, Ciara, Wyatt, Michael S, Jack, Travis, Sam, Tyler C, Inteus, Max, Reid, Zac, Jacob, Quinn, Grace, Elida
If your plans have changed let me know by the start of practice on Monday (I prefer an email today)! Entries are due Monday and we are planning to take only one bus to the race so we need to know if numbers change.
End of Season Banquet
Mark your calendars! Our end of the year awards banquet is scheduled for Friday, November 11th at 6 pm. For those of you that haven't attended in the past, we recognize every athlete so plan on the event lasting a few hours. We will be having food catered and the team will cover the cost of dinner for every athlete. Family members can choose to pay to eat or just attend and not eat for free. I will be sending out details on payment information in another weekly update email.
Nutrition for Female High School Athletes
Footzone is offering a free clinic specific to nutrition for female high school athletes led by Stephanie Howe, Ph. D, a nationally renowned ultra runner who lives in Bend. She will talk about energy needs specific to high school females, why its important to talk about eating disorders, the female triad, and why female nutrition needs are different than males. This is a free clinic held at Footzone at 7pm on Thursday, October 6th. Megan is planning to attend and we encourage female athletes and their parents to consider attending as well!
