The Monte Vista Invitational - Home of the Eliminator!

Both Boys and Girls squads come ready to race at the NCS meet today, giving it one last effort on the fast Hayward High School 5K course.  And both teams are rewarded with hard earned 9th place team finishes out of the 17 to 19 Division 1 teams they faced.  Jr's Bhavik Kanzaria (28th overall) and Chloe Wood (29th overall) take top individual honors for the Stangs, but true to form, the teams ran very tightly packed, leading to the strong finish.  The boys run a respectable 16:59 team time, with four runners in the top 50.  Harry Nunns runs the 'breakout' race of the day for the boys, finishing 3rd for MV (39th overall) in 16:48.  The girls finish in 21:17 team time, without Renee Lau in the lineup due to an injured hip.  Freshman Nicole Aha is the surprise story there, finishing second for MV in 49th place!

SRV Boys team qualifies for State Meet.  Other EBAL State meet qualifiers include Doug Whichard (Granada) and Dimitry Kislyuk (Cal) for the boys, and Diana George (Livermore), Alexis Nordine (SRV), Colleen Lillig (Cal) and Rebecca Paddock (Granada) for the girls.

Full results below.  Congrats to the NCS Varsity Team.  With only Keith Romoser graduating from the NCS squad, plans were already being made for the 2007 edition of this race!

In the cool morning hours, the Varsity squad joined runners from SRV, Granada and Livermore for a series of 3200 meter races on the SRV track!  Designed to be a workout for the varsity teams, and a chance for the runners to set "PR's" in the 3200, the format featured three different heats.  The first heat was designed for those running 12:30 and higher, the second heat was for 11:00 and higher, and the fastest heat was for sub 11 runners. 

Full results are pending, but a number of PR's were set, and some special moments including:
 - Soph Eric Bergquist earns special kudo's for being the only F/S - JV runner from MV to attend!
- Jr Harry Nunns wins the second heat and just misses breaking 11 minutes.  We mean, JUST MISSES - by running 11:00.00!!! 
 - Jr Clinton McAdams runs 10:14 to set a personal best (and earn the "free lunch at Val's" award from Coach Davis). 
-  Sophs Mike Roderick and Alex Morris set PR's and break 11 handily.  Mike runs 10:24. 
- Jr's Brett Zorich, Chloe Wood and Renee Lau pace the girls varsity in PR times.  Brett and Chloe's first 3200 on the track.  Renee runs nearly 30 seconds faster than her 2006 track PR!

partial results girls -

Zorich-12:36

Wood-12:38

Lau-12:37

Chin-13:05

Kelly-13:08

Frosh-Soph and JV Teams wrap up seasons at the EBAL Championship Meet on November 4th at Shadow Cliffs Park.  Ideal weather and a fast course meant more PR's and top finishes for these squads.  Several Mustangs earn All League honors in the F/S and JV divisions!  Varsity squads both pack well and stay close, but with injuries mounting, they can not turn back the rest of the league.  Still - many highlights there as well.

Race Wrap Up:

F/S Girls
Can we just say 18-0 and leave it at that?    No, we can't.  Another impressive victory for this young, talented and seemingly endless pool of talent!  10 runners in the top 14.  Three All-League recipients.  62 seconds between 1st and 10th runner!  48 point margin over 2nd place team.  Need more?  MV's 11th thru 16th runners, if scored as a separate team, would have still finished 3rd overall (behind MV and Granada).  Ok, enough.

Frosh Anna Hoyt returns from a varsity race last meet to again pace the squad with her 4th place overall finish.  Soph Kaitlin Kelly, coming back from a bout of anemia, is a second behind for 5th.  Soph Taysa Bowers (varsity alternate for NCS) is next across in 6th.  After allowing one SRV runner to finish, the next 7 runners all wore the red and black!  Frosh Kimmy Abood just misses all league (3/10th of a second!) in 8th.  Siena Sheldon scores the final 'points' by being their fifth runner in 9th place.  Mel White, Kaity Thomas, Alex D'Souza, Anna DeChant and Shelby Garnart take 10th to 14th places!   Showing huge improvements, Kristen Ratliff, Jen Aceto , Kate Heiting and Tania Abdollahi all break into the top 25.

Wow.

Frosh Soph Boys
Coming off a sweep at the last meet, the F/S boys were looking to turn back the rest of the EBAL at the Championship Meet.  It turned into a huge battle between MV and tough squads from SRV and Amador.  Although the Stangs had their fifth runner in at 18th place - bettered only by SRV in 16th place - the lack of a top 5 runner proved to be the difference in the end as MV finished a close 3rd.  It was impossible to tell the final score until it was posted.  The young squad (four freshman in the top 5 scorers) can be proud of their great season (10-2 in league) and a great battle at the League meet.

Amis Matulionis earned all league honors, and spot as a varsity alternate for NCS with his 7th place finish - just missing a sub 11 time (11:02).  Training partners Ty Trail (12th) and Jake Erlick (15th) were next across the line, with Dan Awai, Drew Terry and Brian Kerekes finishing close behind.

JV Girls
Splitting apart from the F/S girls didn't slow down the Junior and Senior girls who ran in the JV division on Saturday.  Despite being a smaller squad than the F/S team, the JV girls, at 10 runners, made up almost 1/3rd of the JV race!  Right from the start, it was obvious that this group was ready to do battle.  Jr. Kristin Hugo stayed with the leaders throughout, finishing 5th overall and earning all league honors.  Sr Captain Katie Rabago was next across the line, just missing all-league (by one second) in 8th place.  Lindsay Peugh, Nousha Hefzi and Marilyn Kushnick were next across for MV in 21st, 22nd and 23rd  place, finishing the scoring for the JV squad.  Kristen Hines and Abby Van Muijen completed the top seven.

The Junior Varsity girls ended up in 3rd place, behind San Ramon Valley and Amador Valley.  With only Katie Rabago graduating from the top seven group - the team looks to contend again next season as well. 

JV Boys
The Junior Varsity Boys, also made up of all Juniors and Seniors, were next up.  A trio of Amador Valley runners broke away from the pack early, setting a blistering pace up front.  Amador would take 5 of the first 7 spots to win with a low score of 19 points!  Junior Jack Heiting stayed close, finishing first for the Stangs in 10th place overall.  Sr Jack Griffin was next for the team in 13th place - setting a huge PR over his previous race on this course.  Completing the scoring for MV was Chris Witmer (22nd), Mike Slap (27th), and Michael Buesa (29th).  That was good enough for 3rd place overall as well!  Cole White and Jordan Hymes were 6th and 7th.  Luke Hatton, Chris Ray and Drew Campion rounded out the upperclassman squad.

Varsity Girls
Despite placing their 5th runner along side of five of the other EBAL squads, and finishing with just 54 seconds between their 1st and 5th runners, theVarsity Girls could not overcome the lack of a top 15 finisher, and fell to 7th place in the competive field.  Being only 2 points out of 6th, and 9 points out of 5th was some consolation, as the team was without lead runner Brittany Randall (out for the season with a stress fracture) and had several runners fighting illness.  Still, the young squad featured several outstanding performances, most notable being Jr Lauren Ho's vast improvement.  Lauren was the first Mustang across the line in 18th place, in a 25 second PR.  Chloe Wood finished right behind her in 19th place.  Brett Zorich was 3rd runner (26th) with frosh standout Nicole Aha close behind her in 27th.  Kim Chin was 5th runner in 34th place (also a 25 second PR).  Renee Lau and Christie Beeman were the 6th and 7th runners on the day.
Up next is the NCS Championship race on Nov 18th. 

Varsity Boys
A similar situation unfolded for the varsity boys.  Only 44 seconds ticked by between MV's first runner and fifth, and with the fifth runner finishing in 30th place, he was ahead for 3 of the other team's fifth runner (and only 4 behind two other teams).  However, the Varsity Boys also did not have a top 15 runner, and in the end that cost them a higher rank in the standings. 

PR's were the story of the day, as So Mike Roderick had an excellent race to finish in 18th place and pace the Mustangs.  Mike was only 4 seconds from being in the "second team all league" list, running a great 16:30 time.  Jr Bhavik Kanzaria was next in 21st place, improving from the last EBAL meet but still unable to overcome the ankle injury that has hampered him since mid October.  His EBAL Meet #1 time of 15:41 was not bettered at this championship meet - some consolation for him.  Jr Clinton McAdams improved to 22nd place in a PR time as well.  Soph Alex Morris was 4th runner, with Jr Harry Nunns finishing 5th in 30th place.  That's 3 juniors and 2 sophomores making up the top five!  Jr Tyler Breen and Sr Captain Keith Romoser completed the team.
