Varsity Girls:
Daniela Gergley continues her fine season by placing 6th overall in the Division 1 Varsity Girls race. Her time was one of the top times turned in by any Northern California girl runner. Renee Lau had an excellent day, finishing 2nd for the Lady Stangs in a solid 99th place. Freshman Katelin Kelly (108th) was followed closely by Jr Katie Rabago, who was finally eligible to run Varsity. Lauren Ho (Soph) rounded out the scoring, while Tia Pressler and Kristen Hines completed the squad. With two varsity runners not able to attend, Katie and Lauren ran 3 miles for the first time, while Tia, Kristen and Katelin completed only their second one. This experience will help the young team as the season progresses.
Boys Varsity:
The MV Varsity Boys found themselves seeded into the "Sweepstakes" race, featuring the top talent in California. In fact, Royal HS of Simi Valley is ranked #1 in the US! AJ Acosta, the reining CIF 3200 runner was the individual winner in a eye-popping 15:13 for the 5K course. It was a tough crowd for sure. The team finished 21st out of 22nd entered, however, this was not indicative of their overall performance. Adding in the non-seeded race, MV finished a respectable 37th out of 62 total Div 1 teams. Importantly, they measured close to local powers College Park, Deer Valley and San Ramon. Chris Simpson, although hobbled by an injury, again paced the Stangs with a 67th place finish. Patrick Gandolfo ran his first 3 mile race in over three years, finishing at a 5:43 pace. Clinton McAdams was close behing at 5:47 pace. Danny Bartz continues to impress, finishing 4th for the team in only his second Varsity race, while Jason Kanar rounded up the scoring team. Bahavik Kanzaria (first varsity race) and Andrew Wallace completed the team.

2005 12 Hr Overnight Relay - One for the ages!
The night was damp, the air was crisp, the moon was late... but the spirit of Mustang Cross Country warmed the night for a full 12 hours! While runner after runner took the baton for their moment of fame, the team kicked back and had yet another memorable night. Good food and drink (hot chocolate and chicken wings - yeah) were supplied by the parents.
Despite the cold, new friendships were formed while old ones rediscovered. For the first time in Coach Davis' memory, the 4 and 5 o'clock hours featured many awake runners. A dozen or so teammates never did go to sleep.
After completing the 105th and final full mile, the team joined together for a final jog around the track, just hitting the 1/4 mile mark as the clock counted down to 0:00.
After a quick camp teardown, the team eagerly picked up the field (okay, the team was ordered to pickup the field), and by 7:30am Sunday, the only sign of the event was a couple full trash cans.
A big thank you to all the parent volunteers, and the team captains and seniors, who insured a great night. Lets all get some sleep, and keep these great memories close to us for years to come.

In 2003, due to construction of the new track and artifical turf field, the Overnight Relay could not be held. It was not a happy time for the Mustang Cross Country Seniors! The new track and field were certainly worth it though...
