Well, the news of the day is the signings of Jake Fisher and Alex La Flamme to the Cascade XC and Track programs. The exciting part is the energy and experience that they both bring to the program. Alex gained a ton of valuable experience racing in the always tough Metro League here in Oregon. He knows what it takes to race at a high level and will play an important role in elevating our program.
Jake is a distance man in the purest sense of the word. As a member of the Vista Ridge High School team in Austin, Texas he also raced with one of the premier teams of his region and developed a work ethic that will serve him well at the college level. During the summer before his senior year of high school he was already logging as much as 90 miles per week, a level that very few high school runners in the country are able to withstand. Jake's competitive fire will benefit every member of the team when he joins us next year.

Happy Running,
Coach Howard
