including Guy Crawford, Andrew
Langfi eld and two-time champion,
Chris Bagg. 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.
Bronson said that about 300 athletes
have already registered to compete.
Athletes can register online at www.tri-
atthegrove.com through the end of the
week, or onsite the day of the event.
be in the hunt to win it.”
As organizers have had several years
to make improvements on the event
experience, Saturday’s race should
not look very different from last year.
Bronson, whose company, Best Events
in the West, purchased the race from
Dark 30 Sports and owner Steve Cash
this past year, said that water tempera-
tures are warmer than in past years, but
the swim should still be wet-suit legal

“Back then we held practice every other week-
end during the offseason, but only 5-6 players
would show up,” he said. “Games are a great way
to keep kids excited about the sport.”
As a regulation soccer game is 11 players to a
side, fewer players on the fi eld also means more
touches for each player, and the many 1-on-1 situ-
ations encourage players to be creative.
“When it’s 3-on-3, you’re always going to be
involved on the play, and that’s the best way to
teach the game,” Browning explained. “And since
there isn’t the pressure of a real game situation,
players aren't afraid to make mistakes out here.”
Eight teams are competing in this — the in-
augural — summer 3-v-3 league. 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. Registration forms are
also available at the Lane County United Soccer
Academy Facebook page and the South Valley
Athletics offi ce.
