Jesse Thomas, who won last year’s race in a course-record time of 1:54:58, will only compete in the swim. “I’m excited and looking forward to competing,” said Crawford, who is making his Tri at the Grove debut. “The competition should be very strong, and the race could be decided by 60 sec- onds or less.” Langfi eld, 28, is also making his fi rst appearance in the Tri at the Grove. “It’s a race I’ve known about for a long time, and I’ve always wanted to do it, but I haven’t been able to fi t it in the summer schedule until now,” he said. “For being a local event, the race is always crazy fast, and I’m expecting it to be the same this year. If I can stay close through the swim, hopefully I’ll poses. The water levels at Cottage Grove Lake are also lower than in past years. Currently, the Lakeside boat ramp is the only ramp with water access, and this ramp will be closed from midnight to 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Games are 45 minutes long, and teams are comprised of fi ve to six players of all ages. The rules of the game en- sure that disadvantaged teams (either by skill, age or size) can still compete, as their goals count as three. The LCUSA 3-v-3 summer league will con- clude with a championship tournament on Aug. 15. The following weekend, LCUSA, along with South Valley Athletics, will host the Willamette Valley Cup, a two-day, 3-v-3 tournament with ca- pacity for 120 teams. The tournament will have multiple divisions including Under 10, adult coed and high school premier. Those interested in competing in the Willamette Cup can register by contacting Micah Browning by email at lcusocceracademy@gmail.com, or by phone at 541-520-5902.
