Champoeg Invitational

Newberg Cross Country has hosted the Champoeg Invitational for 38 years.  The kids always enjoy running here, and with home turf advantage, they also run really well. In the past three years I've been coaching, the weather has never been wetter and more miserable than it was last weekend.  Benji decided to run the open 5k race, which happened to be the last race of the day.  His finishing time exceeded my expectations, as well as our head coach, Bruce Sinkbeil. It was alot of fun cheering him on!

Sprinting the last 100 meters.

Way to go Dadda!

7th place finish ~ 21 min. 30 sec.
