F/S JV Boys first off the line - and encounter a mob scene at the finish chute. Unprecedented back up causes places and times to be mixed up. Race director apologizes to runners and coaches. Coupled with a short warm up period, it wasn't an easy day for this squad. However, led by Cole White's 16th place finish, the team was an impressive 11th out of 21 complete teams.
JV girls race has no such problem, and Monte Vista responds with a 5th place team finish - the highest of the day (again!). Brett Zorich tunes up for her varsity debut by finishing 5th overall. In an amazing example of packing, the next 4 Lady Stangs came across in a strong cluster (26th to 47th), leading to high team placement. Katie Swinnerton, Christine Barake, Anna Hoyt and Kimberly Abood finished the scoring.
Highlights from the other races:
JV Boys Limited race -
* Harry Nunns runs fastest 2.0 mile of the day - 12:16
* Insanely tight pack follows - next 6 runners hit the line betwen 57th and 68th place!!
* Tight packing leads to 11th out of 26 teams!
* Elrick, Awai, Matulionis and Heiting round out the scoring.
Frosh Soph Girls Unlimited Race -
* Huge squad of MV runners toe the line.
* Team nerves are much better - great start for most.
* Kaity Thomas first across for MV in 15:33 - 52nd scoring place.
* Ratliff, Wilson, Hammitt and Parra complete an 17th place showing (out of 24)
Frosh Soph Boys Limited Race -
* Only 6 Stangs toe the line
* Rahul Avasarala leads team with a 114th place finish.
* Team is 26th out of 33 in a crowded, competitive field.
* Nordmeyer, DeLuca, Beeman and Terry round out the scoring squad. Bergquist 6th.
Varsity Girls Race -
* Chloe Wood and Renee Lau lead team with 67th and 68th place finishes. Chloe completes first 3.0 mile XC race! Renee takes one minute off 2005 time!
* Soph "veteran" Kaitlin Kelly is 3rd with a solid 100th place finish (out of 205 running).
* Newcomers Taysa Bowers and Kim Chin complete the scoring. Taysa inaccurately credited for last place - affects team placement. Both run first 3 mile race too.
* Christie Beeman and Lauren Ho round out the squad. Beeman's first 3 mile.
* Solid team effort here - especially with so many completing the three miles for the 1st time!
Varsity Boys Race -
* Two varsity mainstays - Clinton McAdams and Danny Bartz are held out as precautions.
* Team responds by taking 17th out of 40!
* Bhavik Kanzaria leads the way again, finishing one out of the medals (in a questionable finish chute placement). Bhavik vows to make it clear cut next year! 16:16 time is excellent for this early in the season.
* Soph Mike Roderick, in his first 3 mile race, responds with a 2nd place finish for MV - 89th overall scorer! 17:36 time is solid! Summer running paying off for this Soph - cementing a varsity slot.
* Tyler Breen is 3rd, with Jake Smith 4th (first 3.0 race?) and Soph Alternate Alex Morris stepping up big as our 5th man in 178th place (out of 279 varsity runners.
* Keith Romoser is 6th - nursing a sore calf.
All in all - a very solid day for Monte Vista. Competitive team placement, with the feeling that we can do more! Next up - The Overnight, then Stanford for Varsity.
