Practice Schedule 7/12 to 8/4

It was great having such a strong turnout for the hike up Mt. Bachelor.  Thank you to the parents and athletes that were able to help out with driving!

This week I will be giving you the full practice schedule from 7/12 through 8/4 (Last practice before Cultus Camp).  Megan and I will be out of the country from 7/17 to 7/25 so assistant coaches and team captains will be leading practices during that period.  The following week from 7/26 to 8/1 is the OSAA Moratorium Week which prohibits student contact with coaches.  Captains will be holding optional team runs during this week.  Remember consistency at practices is going to be increasingly more important the closer we get to the start of the regular season.  Attending practices or running on your own is strongly encouraged!

Also remember to turn Cultus forms in by Wednesday!

Cultus Camp Signups

2015 Cougars -

We are excited to a continue a longstanding Mountain View Cross Country tradition with the 2015 Cultus Camp!  This annual team camp is held at Cultus Lake, located off Cascade Lakes Highway, and is an important kickoff to our regular season.  In addition to a number of fun activities, Cultus provides opportunities for relational growth, team building and quality high altitude training which combine to make this one of the most enjoyable and memorable aspects of cross country for most athletes.

Megan and I will be out of the country from 7-17 to 7-25 and the OSAA Moratorium Week is 7-26 to 8-1 which prohibits student contact with coaches.  With that in mind, registration forms for the camp need to be turned in as soon as possible.  Please turn forms in by 7/15.  

Click Here for a copy of the registration form which can be turned in at practice or mailed to Mike and Megan's address, which is listed on the form.  We are asking for a $50 donation to attend the camp.  If this is cost prohibitive, please consider a smaller donation.  If you're able to donate more this will help cover the costs of those with financial needs.  For signups turned in after 7/15 we will be asking that you increase your donation to $60.  Please make checks payable to 'Mike Condon'.  Any additional funds not spent on the camp will be deposited to our team account.

We will meet at the RiverBend Parking lot at 9 am on August 5th and return there at 2 pm on Saturday, August 8th.  For more information on the camp click here to go to the Cultus page on our website.

Practice Week of 7/5 to 7/11

For our third week of practice we will continue a steady increase in mileage.  If you have not been attending practices this summer it is highly recommend that you begin to soon.  We will be adding hill/speed workouts in a couple weeks so building a base with solid mileage now will ease that transition.

Also, due to a lack of sign-ups for the freshmen camp we will be canceling it and hiking Mt. Bachelor and floating at Devil's Lake afterward as a team instead.  This hike will be in lieu of our normal Friday practice.  Meet at Drake park at 8:30am.  Parents - if you are able to drive please email Mike.  We could use a few extra drivers so kids don't need to drive.

Here is the schedule for the week:

Sunday 7/5 - Run an easy 3 to 5 miles on your own.

Monday 7/6 -  Meet at Drake Park at 8:30 am - Run Awbrey Butte

Saturday 7/11 - Rest Day
