What a great weekend in Seaside! We had an awesome showing at a very big meet. We placed well as a team and had 6 top 10 individual finishes in our division. There were 80 teams in attendance and each race had over 300 runners! Check out the results from Saturday below. Thank you to all of the parents who helped with carpooling to and from Seaside. Without your help we would not have been able to make this trip work with one bus! You guys rock!

This week we have two different meets on the schedule. We have Nike Portland XC for the varsity squads and the Madras Invite for the JV Squads. Both meets will be fast and competitive and everyone should get back in time for Homecoming! We will also be helping out at the Sky View Middle School meet at Pine Nursery this Thursday for practice. We will run over to the park and help with the meet until it is over. We may be ending practice a little later than usual. Probably around 5:30pm. This is another great opportunity for our team to connect with the middle school runners. Be sure to where your Mountain View XC gear!

Wow, what a great day at the Saxon Invite for the Cougars! Our first big invitational of the season and we saw some great racing and results across the board. Both the Girls and Boys teams competed hard and finished 7th out of 25 teams attending! Kelsey Swenson was our top finisher, placing 3rd (18:23) in another very competitive women’s race! The varsity boys team improved their time spread of the 1-5 runners from 37 seconds to 22 seconds! Overall it was a very promising performance by everyone looking ahead to what we can accomplish this season. Check out the link below for results on athletic.net!

Now we head into our off week from racing. This will give us a chance to get in a big week of training while focusing on taking care of those aches and pains we tend to get at this point in the season. It is also a great mental break and a good opportunity to rest from 3 weekends in a row for racing. This week is important for many reasons, so let’s be on our A game . work hard and have some fun!

Go Cougars!

Our second meet of the season brought some great competition and awesome performances! It was also awesome to see so many Mountain View XC parents and fans out on the course on Saturday. Thank you for making the trip to Eugene and for your support of the team!

This course flat and fast, however it was also a little longer than 5k. So we can’t get too hung up on times. Everyone gave a great race effort and that is awesome to see this early in the season. This meet also gave us a better look at what our Varsity and JV squads might look like for the season, and we like what we see!! Here are some highlights and stats from the meet.

Meet Highlights

-Kelsey Swenson placed 5th (18:54) in a very competitive Girls Varsity race!

-Hannah Tranby placed 2nd (21:49) in the Girls JV race. Her first High School XC race!

-Cole Shockey won the Boys JV race (17:52). Also his first High School XC race!

-Olivia Carpenter placed 4th in the 3k (13:38). First High School race!

-The JV Boys brought home some hardware, placing 2nd as a team to Summit.
