Preview: This will be Thousand Oaks Cross Country's second time competing at the Seaside Invitational. This meet is one of the larger early season invitationals, with over 40 schools participating last year.   Seaside was selected by our coaches who were looking for an early season meet to provide our inexperienced runners a good introduction to cross country races.  

Unlike last year where our older, experienced athletes sat out, all ages and abilities will be competing this year.  The emphasis on this day will be still be providing our new runners with an introduction to cross country racing, as well as providing our experienced runner an opportunity to have a tune up race and get the rust out of their legs prior to our first league contest two weeks later.

Seaside is a unique meet for us in that is has grade level races (Fr, So, Jr, Sr) rather than traditional divisional races (Frosh/Soph, Junior Varsity, Varsity).  All athletes will be competing in their grade level race (see time table below).  

Seaside is a great venue for spectators to experience a cross country race and cheer on our athletes.  If you can work it into your schedule, please come out and cheer on our runners!

Post Race Barbeque

Post race BBQ has been cancelled.  Many runners and family will be gathering at Topper's Pizza afterwords instead.
