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!
