NCS

MVAL and NCS are now in the books. MVAL finals ended with a girls varsity league title, boys varsity finishing with a 1-2 finish, and a JV girls 1-2-3-4 finish.

NCS was wet, cold, and muddy. And the girls loved it. They finished with the school's very first cross country NCS title! Jessica Gerards led the way with a 3rd place finish, followed by Maggie Sullivan in 6th, Jessica Yee in 8th, Rachel Gerards in 11, Emily Hoeven in 27th, Jackie Nguyen in 49th, and Kristi Gee in 58th. Their 55 points edged out San Ramon's 66 points.

Nolan Petersen was our top finisher in 7th place on the boy's side, also going on to represent at the state meet next week at Woodward Park.

Good job to everybody!

Stanford Invitational

The team as a whole did a good job at the Stanford Invitational. There were some great teams there, and we competed well with them. Girls placed 6th and the boys were 15th in the Division 2 race. That's not too bad considering the heat and some sickness got to some of our athletes. Here are results from the race:
