Woodbridge

This is why I can't keep a journal!  I can't keep up…
So our blog has fallen way behind on pretty much everything this season, so we are going to get caught up by starting at the most recent stuff and working our way back to the start.
This past weekend, our Varsity Boys headed down to Irvine, California for the Woodbridge XC Classic.  This was a first for our team and could become a yearly event (girls, it's your turn next year!).  Upon arriving Friday afternoon, we checked in and did a course run-through.  Our race was late in the evening Friday night, so we checked in to the hotel and hunted down some dinner.  Getting back to the course, we saw this was the largest XC invite any of us had been to - thousands of athletes everywhere.  The team ran very well under the lights and ended up winning our division (White - Varsity B) with a 38 second spread between Nick Hill who took 4th (and ended up with the 101st fastest time of the meet, between the 2 days), Alex Hill 17th (and top 5 fastest Freshman in the whole meet), Paul Gaona 18th, Dallen Gillespie 19th, and Andrew Nielsen 27th.  Cam Brown placed 32nd and Jake Taylor finished 61st to round out our 7.
The next day, the team had a less than desirable breakfast, a nice long run, and a good time at the beach and headed home.
The girls, meanwhile, had a great team bonding camp up at Pine Valley.  Thanks to Coach Roberts for going with them.  The Bushars for letting the girls use the cabin and chaperoning and cooking.  And to Nicole and the other girl captains for all the hard work they put into the overnighter.
