Great article in today’s Bend Bulletin by Beau Eastes about Summit going for both the boys and girls state team titles in Class 5A state cross county this Saturday @ Lane Community College in Eugene. It got me thinking… has any team ever won all four state titles (boys and girls team plus boys and girls individuals)? The answer is no… at least, not yet!

Not only could Summit sweep the team titles, but the individual titles with front runners Travis Neuman and Megan Fristoe. No team has ever won all four titles.

HERE ARE THE FACTS:
• Last team to win both the boys and girls state team titles – Jesuit 2008
• Central Oregon team to win both boys and girls state team titles – Bend High 3 times
• Teams to win both boys and girls titles - 9 different teams
• Teams to win both individual titles – St. Mary’s 2000, Glendale 1993, Oakland 1983,
• Winning three out of four – Oakland 1983

Bend sophomore Jenna Mattox had an amazing Fall last year. She was the top placing freshman in the Class 5A state cross county meet and led her team to a 5th place finish, but that wasn’t all she did last Fall. She also won a state championship with the Lava Bears soccer team. Mattox is at it again this fall playing both sports and looking to join her older sister Kimber as an individual cross country state champion. She took some time from her very busy schedule to answer some questions for Central Oregon Athlete:

Central Oregon Athlete – How busy is your Fall as a two/sport athlete?
Jenna Mattox – It’s been pretty busy but my coaches have been great about allowing me compete in both sports. We plan my week of workouts ahead of time.

COA – Any special moves to balance soccer and XC, like morning runs or anything like that?
JM – I try to make up missed workouts on my own.

COA – How are the two sports different for you?
JM – They have some similarities but cross country allows me to strive for personal goals as well as team goals.

COA – What’s it like to have a family with such a strong running tradition at Bend High?
JM – Having my older brother and sister having success for Bend High as well as my cousin Ryan Douglass, I’m more motivated to push myself.

COA – What are your goals this soccer season?
JM – To improve my skills and have fun, while helping my team reach their goals.

COA – What are your goals this XC season?
JM – Help Bend High make it to state by improving my times. I would love to run at border clash again.

COA – What do you like to do when you aren’t playing sports?
JM – I love to hang out with family and friends. I enjoy all types of crafts and baking.

COA – What is your favorite workout in Central Oregon?
JM – I love hill repeats on Pilot Butte, but probably my favorite workouts are “Kyle Will” workouts (strength training).

COA – What has been the highlight so far of your young sports career?
JM – At the district meet last year after our team had worked so hard, realizing we had earned a spot at the state meet.
