RESULTS - 2013 MONTE VISTA INVITATIONAL

Posted by Mike Davis at Sep 3, 2013 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

Relatively mild weather led to some fast times today at Oak Hill Park, as runners from 20 area schools squared off against each other and the Eliminator Hill!   Plenty of close action in all 8 grade level races, as newbies and race veterans got a chance to kick it up a notch after a long summer of base work.

Top times for the day were turned in by Las Lomas' Chloe Hansel running in the Soph girls race, while San Ramon Sr Jason Intravaia turned in a near course record showing to lead the boys today.

655 boys and 417 girls finished the hilly two mile course today!

Combining the boys race times, the San Ramon Boys were the fastest on the day, followed by Las Lomas, Amador Valley and Acalanes.   On the girls side, host Monte Vista had a solid day, with Granda (missing their #1 runner), Las Lomas and Amador Valley close behind.   Coaches got a chance to see how their runners compared on the same course, no doubt getting some surprise performances along the way.

Full results can be found in the HANDOUT below.

Thank you to all participating teams!  We hope to see you again next year!

Annual Mt Diablo Challenge Run

Posted by Mike Davis at Aug 23, 2013 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
 August 24th:  "Run to the top" - Mt Diablo challenge run.  26 runners and 4 coaches make it up the mountain today at the annual Mt Diablo Challenge Run!  The first group reaches the summit in under 2 hours, while the second group is up top well before noon!   Great weather and views add to an excellent experience.   A big thank you to Coach Mike Huntsman for once again managing the support crew, as well as the Rocha's, Kiser's, Chamberlin's, Grove's and Wightman's for shuttling the excited but tired crew back down off the mountain.  Congrats to all the Mustangs who conquered the hill today!
