Congrats on a great state championship meet Vista Nation. The coaching staff is proud of the way we competed. The boys finishing 4th and the girls 2nd marks the 23rd time our team has placed in the top 4 at state since 2010. That means out of 26 state races (boys and girls together) since 2010 you have finished in the top 4 as a team all but three times! That's an amazing legacy to continue. Congrats on a great state meet and the coaches are excited to see what in store next at NXRSW for our team in three weeks.

2022 Booster Club Donations 
To ensure that we have adequate funding for the 2022 fall XC season the coaching staff is asking that each family on the team make a donation of $100 to our XC Booster club. Our estimated cost to run the program this fall is approximately $8000, which covers such necessities as meet entry fees ($300-$500 per meet) and our team licensed massage therapist (Coach Boele) to be at practice.

If families cannot donate $100, then we ask you to donate what you can. And of course if any would like to donate above $100 it is greatly appreciated.
