December 9, 2012

Taking a bit of a study break the night before finals has never been so festive! Members of the cross country team enjoyed a 45 minute night-time run around McMinnville taking in some impressive Christmas light displays along the way.

Checking out the "Christmas Cul de sac."

“There were a few homes out there of which Clark W. Griswold would be proud,” stated associate head coach Greg Mitchell, who led the run.

Clothed in their brightest running apparel, the runners enjoyed the lights of Third Street and McMinnville’s legendary “Christmas Cul de Sac” as well as numerous other glowing abodes. Following the run, participants enjoyed some hot cocoa and Christmas cookies.

“It was a nice break from studying,” stated team captain Brandon Lemerande. “With finals looming ahead it was nice to get a run in with friends and get into the holiday spirit a bit.”
