What a great weekend of XC! We had a ton of season bests and PRs. Both races seemed to be tough courses, with the Madras course having a huge hill and tricky terrain and Nike Portland being very muddy. We still had great performances and strong efforts (even with most of the team recovering from the plague). Check the list of PRs from the weekend below!
Now we have a quick turn around to the Oxford Classic here in Bend at Drake Park. This is an awesome meet and it is a great opportunity to get a lot loud Cougar XC fans out on the course! Invite friends and family to come out and cheer on Mountain View. Hopefully the Cougar mascot will make another appearance this year! Please read below for other important happenings this week.

Athletes can use the discount code: XCATHLETE to get $30 off registration! This run is only to be used as a training run, not a competition!
