Boys Recap: The young Mustang boys team was not intimidated by the large field today, as they turn in a balanced team performance to finish 5th out of the 36 teams! Led by sophomore Tristan Millers 16:01 time (5:10 / mile pace for the 5K race), the team had all 5 scorers in by 17:01 ! Miller was 10th overall, followed by Jr Tim Chrisman (20th, 16:10), Soph Daniel Maneloveg (57th, 16:44), Soph Nick Vomund (64th, 16:48) and Soph Ben Smiley (85th, 17:01). Rounding out the team today were Jr Will Jones (156th, 17:51) and Soph Brendan Lau (162nd, 17:54).
The boys ran the fastest team time on the Stanford course since Monte Vista has kept track of team times via XC stats - even faster than Coach Bhavik's squad from 2007! Well done guys!
Girls Recap: The varsity girls team was once again invited into the special "seeded" race, lining up again many of the top teams from California as well as teams from Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Texas! Soph Meredith Corda is the big story today, running a huge PR time of 18:06 (5K) to take 10th place overall! Meredith's pace of 5:50 / mile is the fastest ever by a Monte Vista girl at this historic race. Jr Brooke Starn is also sub 6 per mile today, finishing in 19th place. Jr Heidi Fuhriman (70th) and Sr Caroline Carey (73rd) are the two across the line. Completing the squad today are Jr Emily Gines (84th), Jr Madi Jeha (85th) and Fr Maddie Coney (97th). The girls take 9th place out of the 18 seeded teams. Their team time is also fastest in MV history.
Based on having a team in the seeded race, the Lady Mustangs were allowed to race a varsity B team in the D1 varsity race, and the girls took advantage of their opportunity by finishing 9th out of the 30 teams that toed the line! Soph Cat Kiser continues to run strong, pacing the team with her 35th place finish. The team was tightly packed today, with only 55 second between Cat and Sr Hannah Kim in the 5th position. Also running for the Mustangs today were: Fr Karalyn Sawchuk, Fr Alex Wilson, Soph Morgan Dowling, Hannah, Fr Audrey Coney and Sr Alexis Bailie.
