COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Sept. 21, 2016 3B Cross Country travels to Seaside, hosts fi nal home meet on Thursday Lions compete in various courses based on diffi culty The Cross Country Team of Cottage Grove High made their annual trek to Seaside last Friday and Saturday to join thousands of other high school running en- thusiasts in the unconventional “Three Course Challenge”. There was way more drama in determining which course each athlete would run than there was during any race day so far this season. Each group of seven teammates drew colored chips to determine their race. Then they each ran in the one of the three races determined by the color of the chip they drew for their con- tribution to a combined single team score. Those that drew a white chip out of an empty cof- fee can ran the easy course; blue chip pickers ran the moderate course, and those lucky enough to draw the red chip were re- warded with the chance to run the diffi cult course. Thirty-three Lions have tales to tell after their adven- tures through their course of the meadows, mud pits, dunes and trails at Camp Rilea. Head Coach Jim Settelmeyer says ef- fort from each athlete was never in question, and their running showed much overall improve- ment in fi tness, specifi cally with how they were able to attack the mostly unknown courses. The team led this outing by three divisional top 10 fi nishers: Jes- se Ellingworth (second, easy), Paesen Timm (second, moder- ate) and Sabrina James (eighth, diffi cult). This Thursday (Sept. 22) the Lions invite all their fans to come out to Schwarz Park, just below Dorena Reservoir to root them on as they host their fi nal home meet of the year. Twenty high schools are coming to join them. Friends, family and com- munity members that come and join are invited to hop into the JV (and Open) run to experi- ence the challenge this meet is famous for. Harrier’s Challenge is celebrating its 15th annual partnership with the Corps of Engineers and an army of local volunteers to create a fun event. Over 300 runners are expected to participate this year. FOOTBALL Cycle the Lakes another success CONTINUED FROM PG 1B Saturday saw the sixth annual Cycle the Lakes bike ride. The ride is put on by the Rotary Club of Cottage Grove and funds are raised to support local and internation projects in health, education, literacy and youth development. A total of 237 riders showed up with 93 volunteers helping with the event. Oregon, California, Nevada and Colorado were all rep- resented among the riders. There were fi ve different routes to choose from: 32, 42, 67, 77 and 102-mile routes. touchdown and two-point con- version almost rattled Cottage Grove. The Indians were able to score due to a fairly controversial pass-interference call on Parent. As time was winding down, Cot- tage Grove made a fi nal drive to get inside the 20-yard line. Cottage Grove sent out Giffen and the fi eld goal unit to try to put the game away. Parent, who holds the ball for Giffen, made an incredibly athletic play when the snap fl ew nearly a foot behind his back but still man- aged to control the ball and place it in time for Giffen to kick the ball through the uprights. “It was a combination of Kory’s hold and the fact that Erick’s a one- step kicker,” Roberts said. Roberts says that this win shows that the Lions are capable of re- sponding to adversity. “We don’t have a lot of bodies, so these kids are playing a full four quarters of football,” he added. The win didn’t do much for the Lions in terms of OSAA rank- ings. Cottage Grove currently sits at 16th, fi ve spots behind Elmira (also 3-0). The Falcons haven’t yet gotten a quality win like Cottage Grove’s nail-biter against a strong Scappoose program, but they will get their chance against Junction City this week. Meanwhile, the Lions are prepar- ing for their own Sky-Em opener at Sweet Home this Friday. The Hus- kies are 1-2 with their most recent loss this past Friday in Stayton.
