News and Announcements
Once again the famous "Beast" is being given out to those Mustang Cross Country runners who have a 'beastly' effort and/or result during a practice or race. The Beast typically rotates between the boys and girls team and is kept by the winner until the next person is named.
For 2011, the following are our Beast of the Week winners:
Heet Vaishnav - Nike Invitational
Katharine Smiley - Stanford Invitational
Daniel Chrisman - Scott Bauhs Invitational
Erin Herting - EBAL Center Meet
Tristan Stewart - Mt SAC Invitational
After a tough week of training, many Mustangs showed up for practice on Friday in full Halloween costumes. "Bad Joke Friday" again kicked things off, as Lauren Gratsch, Mike Abood and Coach Sharon braved the rowdy crowd and contributed classic jokes.
After some instructions concerning the weekend practice schedule, the team was off for another "Diablo Sign" run. Except for the fired up JV boys, who played an intense game of ultimate frisbie!
One week left until the EBAL Championships - GO TEAM!
Reminder - Photo Day is Tuesday, Oct 11th
All athletes must be uniform on Tuesday in order to be in the team photo. Forms were handed out at practice last week. Need one? See Coach Davis on Monday.
If you want a group photo, or individual one, you must fill out the form, enclose the appropriate fee, and bring it to the photo shoot. Do not turn the form into your coach!
After photos and a short workout, the team will enjoy a Carbo Load at Oak Hill Park to prepare for the EBAL Meet on Weds!
GO STANGS!
Oct 8th: The Car Wash! The sun is back out and the cars were lined up all day as the team raised funds for the XC banquet today. Two full shifts helped manage the hectic pace. Over $2100 raised today!
