Week 17 - 10/9 - 10/15

Great Day of Racing Cougs!

Both our boys and girls edged Bend High for 2nd place finishes at the Juniper Preview today.  If we can do it again in a few weeks we'll be taking both teams to State!  Going into these last two weeks of the season it's critical that we continue to work hard in training, stay focused on our individual and team goals, and do the small things that can make a big difference.  Get a little extra sleep, eat a little more and wash your hands a few more times during the day.  Results from the Juniper Preview are available at: http://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/Results/Meet.aspx?Meet=119315#/263

Here are this week's announcements:

End of Season Banquet

Our end of season banquet is scheduled for Friday, November 11th at 6pm in Aspen Hall at Shevlin Park.  All athletes and family members are encouraged to come and celebrate the end of our season!  The event does tend to be fairly long because we feel it is important to recognize every athlete - expect it to last till about 9pm.  We will have food catered from Tate and Tate with both a meat and vegetarian option.  The team will cover the cost of all team athletes - please let us know if you are not attending so that we don't order you a meal.  Family members may attend for free, but if you wish to eat meals are $11/person and must be paid in advance on Touchbase which is currently setup for payment:

Uniform Returns
