  For those unfamiliar with this top-tier regional cross country meet, it is contested on the grounds of the Camp Rilea Military Base in Warrenton, OR. Athletes race over one of three courses varying in length and difficulty level. Those racing the more rigorous courses must contend with steep and sandy hills that many would find difficult to walk up. The event also features a mud pit…and this year it was waist deep for many of the competitors.

  Additionally, the “Divisions” are meant to allow comparison of athletes from across state lines, as state high school athletic associations break down school classification in various ways.
