Stellar day of cross country running by all four MV squads, capped off with the Varsity Boys taking 5th place in their D1 race. They put an amazing 6 people in by the 52nd runner, out of a field of over 360. Only 18 seconds between #1 runner (Sr Bhavik Kanzaria) and #6 (Jr Mike Roderick). Mike was the fasted #6 runner in the entire race (49 teams). Close behind Bhavik - and we mean it - was Seniors Harry Nunns, Dustin Harris, Danny Bartz and Clinton McAdams. Jr Connor Donley was the 7th man in a PR time. Only Amador Valley (1st place!) was ahead of MV among NCS D1 teams.
The varsity girls turned some heads in the EBAL and NCS by taking 11th in the D1 girls race, with only Granada being ahead of them among EBAL teams and in NCS (Cal HS ran in the Seeded Race later in the day). Sr Chloe Wood led a balanced squad that only had 1 minute, 10 seconds between #1 and #5. Soph Nicole Aha turned in her best race of the season to finish 2nd, with Renee Lau, Kaitlin Kelly and Kimmy Abood rounding out the scoring. Sr's Brett Zorich and Kim Chin rounded out the squad.
Earlier in the day, the JV boys took 13th out of 30 teams, and were the first team from the NCS to finish. Soph Jake Erlick took the individual honors for the Mustangs in the 3K race, followed closely by Freshman Kevin Ho. Amis Matuilonis (So), Alex Morris (Jr) and Tyler Breen (Sr) rounded out the scoring. Jr Chris Hassoon was 6th, and Jr Colton Anderson, who was not even dressed to race (he came to cheer) jumped in to finish out the team!
The JV girls took 12th out of 36 teams in a race that combined D1 and D2 teams into one race. As with the boys, no other NCS team finished higher! Soph Anna Hoyt was the top finisher, leading a close pack consisting of Sr Lauren Ho, and Jr's Alex D'Souza, Julia Mason and Kirstin Ratliff. Sr Taysa Bowers was the 6th and final runner for the Stangs.
A large group of teammates traveled with the bus to help cheer on the team - which was certainly appreciated by the runners and coaches!
Coach Davis' camera malfunctioned, AFTER Soph Emily Bartz spent the whole day taking great photos. Darn. If you want so get a feel for it - look at the Dyestatcal web site for videos of the varsity races.
