Starting this Monday, August 15th, the official fall sports season begins and practices are required. If for any reason you are unable to attend a practice please let me know. We will be maintaining our summer schedule for an additional week. Starting 8/22 we will be moving all practices to Mountain View but keeping the same time schedule until school begins. Once school starts practice will be at 3pm. Athletes must be training on a regular basis starting Monday in order to compete at our first race at Breese Ranch on August 27th. We are mandating this requirement in order to reduce injuries for those that are not prepared to compete. All registered athletes will still be allowed to attend and watch the meet.
We have an optional run tomorrow morning (8/13) and will be meeting at RiverBend Park at 8:30 am and carpooling to Inn of the 7th Mountain to run on the river trail. Parents are welcome to join for the run and help carpool athletes! Athletes - Bring your swimsuit and we will stop by Inn of the 7th after our run to use the pool and hot tub. If you prefer there is disc golf and mini golf also available. We will return to RiverBend Park at 11 am.
Team Signups
Signups for cross country are available online at https://www.bend.k12.or.us/mountainview/student-life/athletics. No athletes will be allowed to participate at practices starting August 15th without being cleared by the athletic office. Clearance to participate is contingent on registration, pay to play fee, ASB fee, and an active physical on file.
XC Challenge
The Cougar XC Challenge is coming up on Saturday 8/20. For those of you that are not familiar, this event is a team wilderness/scavenger hunt run in which athletes compete on teams as they race on an unmarked course to a mystery location. This run is recommended only for athletes that have been attending practices regularly throughout the summer and physically able to run without walking for a minimum of 4 miles.
We will meet at RiverBend Park at 7:30 am to carpool to the dropoff location.
If there are any parents willing to run with a team, help carpool athletes to our dropoff location, or pickup athletes around 11-12 at our final destination please let me know!
