On Sunday, March 19, 2006, the Northside College Prep Varsity Mens Track and Field Team competed against all of the Chicago Public High Schools in the largest meet of the year. The meet featured over 1,000 athletes. In the 3200m run, Daniel Kittaka won with a personal best time of 10:35. Initially, it appeared he placed second, but the Mustangs learned after the race, that the leader was not in the meet. Kittaka dropped 17 seconds of his 3200m time to become 2006 3200m CPS Indoor Champion! In the 4x800m Relay, the Mustangs placed 4th in the City Championships with the fastest 4x800m Relay of the season, 9:12.97. Senior Joseph Terdik ran a 2:16 800m Split on the first leg of the relay before making the exchange to Freshman Brandon Cooper.
