Bellevue Invite success!

Last Saturdays Invitational at Lake Sammamish was a big success with many boys posting personal best times and significant improvement over last years times. Of note was Matt Gross coming in 20th overall in the 1-2 flight and first place for Roosevelt with a personal best of 16:39. Hart Horner also had a PR with 17:29 coming in 10th in the 5-6 flight, 3rd best time for the XC MOB. The team placed 8th out of 36 teams attending.
This week is a bye week with no meets. More info to come for next week and reminder to RSVP for the parent dinner!

XC Parent dinner-Meet the Coaches -Fundraiser

The XC team parents have planned a XC parent dinner on Friday Oct 16th at 6:30 @ the Gross's home (7028 17th ave NE). This is a chance to meet other parents and the coaches, ask questions and learn more about XC at RHS. A secondary goal is to raise funds for the teams depleted bank account without selling things or time consuming fundraisers with a pay what you can donation box. We hope to have a good turn out and look forward to meeting the people that support the kids that make up our fabulous XC team!
