DONNA ON THE SIDE AT BORDERCLASH The SceneThe Border Clash is a cross country meet between the states of Oregon and Washington. The top 40 runners (based on the results from each state's state meet) are invited to participate (20 girls and 20 boys). The meet is held on the Nike campus --- beautiful grounds, modern, sleek buildings and lovely landscape including a lake, and Japanese garden.. The Nike buildings are all named after accomplished athletes: Tiger Woods Center, Dan Fouts, Jerry Rice, Mia Hamm, Pete Sampras, Michael Jordan and many others. Plaques honoring great athletes line the outdoor corridors that link various buildings. The meet is modeled somewhat on a medieval battle. It's begun with drum rolls and a canon blast as each team starts the race running into the faces of their opponents--as was the custom in medieval times. The prize: honor and a Nike statue. But unlike medieval times, this meet has a helicopter and plasma computer screens. Overhead during the race, a helicopter followed the runners and transmited video pictures so that all could follow the meet in real time. For the most part, you are either for Oregon or Washington. It's a fun meet for all.
