Three Course Challenge - Seaside
This week we are headed to the coast for the legendary Three Course Challenge. If this is your first time joining us for our annual trip to Seaside, OR you are in for a treat!
We will be leaving on Friday morning after first period. No students that miss first period will be allowed to attend! Please also remember that no athletes with an unexcused absence this week will be allowed to attend. If you are not planning to attend, please let me know asap. We will be meeting at the bus loop at 9am on Friday to depart and are staying at the Shilo Inn East (Room assignments will be provided on Friday) in Seaside. The team will be covering the majority of this cost through fundraised money, but we need each athlete to contribute toward this cost. Please bring $10 cash or a check made payable to 'Mountain View Cross Country' to practice this week!
What to Bring:
- Lunch on Friday (or money)
- Money for Dinner on Friday, and Lunch and Dinner on Saturday (hotel will have breakfast on Saturday)
- Shoes that you don't mind getting dirty in the race (and an extra pair)
- Warm clothes as the coast can be much cooler than Central Oregon.
- Boys (bring white jersey and old racing shorts - new uniforms must not be worn at Seaside)
- Girls (bring $2-3 to practice on Monday as girls team will be making t-shirts to race in at Seaside)

New Uniforms
Our new shorts and jerseys are the nicest team uniforms you can buy and cost $145 each. Take good care of these and avoid losing them. Athletes will be fined for any lost or damaged uniforms. Do not remove any tags or alter the uniforms in any way. Uniforms need to be washed after each meet in cold water, no bleach, and hung to dry - do not put these in a dryer. Also, we recommend that parents purchase their son's a pair of briefs that can be worn under their shorts and are not visible. Several athletes expressed that the shorts don't offer adequate support, plus this will help preserve the life of the shorts. We prefer that athletes don't wear boxer briefs or compression shorts under the team shorts, but at a minimum any such garments should be solid black. Finally, the new uniforms must not be worn at the Seaside meet next weekend. Wear the old team jersey and shorts to Seaside and we will turn these in the following week.
