Varsity Cross Country Poem:  This poem was written by Katie Cousineau for our team.  

We run & run & run some more, We just run ourselves into the floor, For miles & miles we go, but Adam always runs more, ya know.  Kelli, yeah, she's always winnin', but so does Amanda, so don't be trippin'!  Quickly Tanner's running past, & Robert Gertz is far from last.  Watch out for Cori, she's zooming by, While Kirsten seems to really fly.  Here comes Allen speeding through, & Kenny's a great addition to the crew.  Jacobs running rather speedy, leaving others feeling needy.  Alex keeps on going, it seems, & Katie backs up all the teams.  We're Varsity Cross Country so run if you must, So you best watch out, or you'll eat our dust!

Sac Joaquin Subsection Information: As always we will need parents to help drive.  Each athlete will need to be at the course no later than two (2) hours before their race time.  Try to gauge your travel time to arrive at this time (it will be different for each division - Varsity, Frosh/Soph etc.).  Example - Our freshmen boys run at 9:30 am and should arrive at the course at around 7:30 am, the frosh/soph girls run at 10:00 am and should arrive at 8:00 am etc.  The general travel rule is a runner needs to be out of the car and at the race site before a race for as long as the runner is in the car traveling to the meet.  It takes about a hour and 45 minutes to get to the course.  It is also better that runners not drive themselves.  Saturdays meet schedule is posted below (Bella Vista is a Division 2 school):

1. Freshman Boys - Div. 1, 2 - 9:30

A common saying in cross-country is that the 3 most important things about XC are June, July, and August!  This is a very important time to get our aerobic base, build muscle, and enable us to start doing serious workouts right away rather than several weeks into the season.

Optional Group Practices (beginning June 17th-August 1st) *** Please note changes from the info that was handed out at the Track awards night!

As we have done in the past we will have unofficial non-mandatory summer conditioning. All are welcome (alumni, siblings, parents, friends, BV athletes who just want some pre-season conditioning, etc).  This is a great time to recruit your friends to see if they would like it. We hold these workouts to make it easier for you to get in a workout, but if you cannot make any of these times, feel free to run on your own.  You may contact me at any time if you want some guidance on your training mileage targets.

Monday (beginning June 17th): Nimbus Flats by the Sacramento Aquatic Center at 6:30 pm (you may use a state pass or park at the Sacramento Aquatic Center or in the park and ride and walk) ****Very important to bring a towel or mat if you don’t like goose poop.

Tuesday: Bella Vista HS Track, at 7:30 am

For the second year in a row the Bella Vista boys varsity cross country team won the Sac Joaquin Section DII championship scoring 66 points to out pace second place Whitney High School who finished with 89.

The top seven of Jaxon Clausen, Damian King, Nathaniel LaSalle, Bret Henkel, Benjamin Blankenburg, Tristan King and Eugene Kim will represent BV in Fresno on November 26.

Bella Vista's JV boys also won the SJS JV division showing the amazing depth of the Bronco cross country program. Following the JV boys were the freshman boys taking 2nd in the DII race with the sophomore boys placing 5th in their division.

On the girls side BV's Cessair McKinney qualified to the big show as an individual placing 4th overall running a personal best 18:39 for the difficult Willow Hills course. That time is the second best by any Bronco girl ever and this makes 4 straight state meet runs for Cessair! What an amazing cross country career she has had!
