2017 Season - Week #9

Hey Team,

Great job this week at practice!  We are picking up the intensity and mileage and you are handling it great.  We especially appreciate the hard effort many of you put into the workouts on Wednesday and Friday!  This Saturday will be our first race at Breese Ranch, but we will be training through it so don't worry if you aren't feeling ready or are tired after the last couple weeks.  Our focus is on the end of the season.  Here are some important announcements for the week!

Breese Ranch -

Our first race is this Saturday at Breese Ranch in Prineville.  Please meet at the Mountain View bus loop at 7:30 AM to catch the bus.  I expect we will be back at Mountain View for pickup at 12:30 PM.  The girls race is at 9:00 AM and the boys are at 9:40.  There is a community race at 10:00 for any parents interested in participating.  The course starts on a pasture and at 1/4 mile crosses a large creek and follows a dirt road to a flood irrigated pasture for some wet running. At the 3/4 miles the course starts a 3/4 mile up hill grind on a cattle trail to the halfway point of the race. From this point on it is downhill to the same wet pasture, stream crossing and follows a dirt road to the finish.  Parents interested in watching or participating in the community race can drive there by traveling through Prineville and proceeding 1 mile east of town on US 26.  There will be signs on the right side of the road for Breese Ranch.

Pasta Feed -

We have a team pasta feed Friday evening right after practice at Mallory Roberts House at 62610 Bunchgrass Pl.  We will carpool athletes that can't drive from Drake Park to save parents some trouble.  The Roberts will be providing pasta but please bring the following:

Freshmen - Bread
Sophomore - Drinks
Juniors - Salad
Seniors - Desert

Footzone Spike Nights - Footzone is a huge supporter of local high school cross country and have spike nights scheduled for 8/20 (Today!), and 8/30 in which all athletes are offered a 20% discount on all shoes and spikes.  You can also go in any day and receive a 10% discount by mentioning you're a high school athlete.

Washington Family Ranch – September 8-10.  WRF is coming up fast and we need you to register by 8/25 and turn in a waiver by emailing scanned copy or bring to practice (see attachment).  If you are a parent interested in helping with driving or working on the kitchen crew during the weekend we can use more help.  We currently have the following parents signed up to help: David Tranby, Rois & Julie Cannon, Alison Backstrom, Mel Davis, Tasha McFarland, Melissa Hassell.   If something has changed and you can no longer help please let me know!  We have the following athletes signed up to attend as of Friday: Helios, Tyler Backstrom, Nolan, Forrest, Adam, William, Max L, Lauryn, Chisel, Carson P, Elida, Gabe Schendel.
