Cross Country — a Team Sport? You Better Believe It!

DECEMBER, 2007, BEAVERTON, OR — Eastbay will, once again, cohost the Nike
Team Nationals (NTN), an annual, invitational cross country meet that brings the best
high-school-age athletes in the nation together to compete against each other in a team
setting. This non-for-profit event is a collaborative venture between USA Track&Field,
Nike, Eastbay and the National Scholastic Sports Foundation. It is the only national XC
team championship offering USA Track and Field-registered clubs the opportunity to
compete as a team.

“The overall feeling that emerges from an event like the Nike Team Nationals is pride.
The coaches feel the pride of team achievements, the runner feels the pride of being
involved and the sponsor feels the pride of helping make it all happen. Eastbay’s
sponsorship gives us an inside opportunity to meet and talk with our core customer, the
runners. We feel their hopes and are able to help them achieve their dreams. It’s an
amazing experience that creates a remarkable bond,” said Darcey Westcott, Eastbay’s
Event Coordinator for this year’s NTN.
