Mustang Boys and Girls gather pre-season attention!

Posted by Mike Davis at Jul 24, 2009 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

From "Cross Country Express"

Preseason individual rankings - Division One.  Sr Nicole Aha ranked in the top 5 to start the year.  http://albertcaruana.blogspot.com/2009/07/ncs-division-i-individual-rankings-by.html

Preseason team rankings - Mustang Girls ranked #2 in NCS D1.  Mustang Boys ranked #4 in D1.  http://albertcaruana.blogspot.com/2009/07/jason-oswalts-2009-ncs-division-i.html

Rankings are only opinion, so it's important not to mistake rankings for results.  However, the Mustang teams have earned this preseason attention by the hard work and results over the past several years.  It's up to the team to met and exceed these predictions! 

GO MUSTANGS!

Record Turnouts for July Summer Club Runs!

Posted by Mike Davis at Jul 23, 2009 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

Starting on July 6th, the Mustang Running Club has been meeting at 9am Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the MV Parking Lot.  An average of over 40 runners have attended these summer runs, which are designed to help introduce you to the sport of cross country.  Building a solid base of miles is the goal of the summer program, and meeting old teammates, while establishing new ones is certainly an added benefit.

 If you are planning on joining the team this fall, get yourself to some of these summer runs.  Participation costs are low - $25 - which includes a t-shirt!

Happy miles!
