RECAP: NBL League Meet #1 vs MCHS and RCHS

The rain didn't slow anyone down Wednesday as the Panthers stormed Spring Lake to take on Maria Carrillo and Rancho Cotate.


An incredible 46 out of 64 racers set personal records (PRs)! Those who didn't PR either ran season's bests, came really close, or are recovering from injury or illness. Be patient... your times will drop too!

There are too many amazing performances to mention specifically, but there were a few JV times that stood out:
* Irma PR'd by almost 4 minutes
* Kadeja PR'd by 3:30 minutes
* Justin Dante PR'd by over 2 minutes
* Tommy "post Fondo" Lucas PR'd by 1:30 minutes

The Varsity girls had 4 out of 8 runners PR, 2 others set season's bests, and 1 come within 4 seconds of PRing. They finished 2nd to a Carrillo team that is clearly one of the top teams in all of Northern California and the class of the NBL. A strong effort from top to bottom!

The Varsity boys avenged last year's loss to Carrillo with a nail-biting 25-31 victory. It is harder to PR the faster you get, but that didn't seem to dawn on them. A hard-fought last mile resulted in a #3 all-time SRHS team time! (#15 out of all teams ever on the course). This is with two top runners coming back from illness and injury who didn't even score for us! They showed great confidence, poise, and sportsmanship.

Overall, the team is gathering steam as we head into the "meat" of the season. The NBL meets are what truly count. Now is the time to take advantage of all the stamina you are building and convert that strength into racing machines!

Go Panthers!

Castro Valley

It looks like we will have about 45-50 runners going to Castro Valley this Saturday October 8.
We will be leaving from the Swim Center at 8:30 AM. The times of the races are as follows:
11:00 Frosh Soph Boys
11:25 Girls Varsity
12:00 Boys Varsity
12:30 Girls JV
1:00 Boys JV

Varsity races are 3 miles and the others are 2.1 miles.

Pretty good viewing for the audience.

Go Panthers!

Carrillo/Rancho Wednesdy Meet and NBL Finals Change of Location

The tri meet this Wednesday, October 5, against Carrillo and Rancho is being held at Spring Lake, not Carrillo. Their coach decided to host it on the normal course, so it'll be just like all our other meets. On a very similar note, Ukiah has decided to host NBL finals at Spring Lake, and not up at Ukiah. Rejoice for more chances to run on the home course!

PANCAKE RUN this Saturday!

OK all you non-SAT takers! Come to Carrie's house for a long run in Annadel and home-made pancakes after.

When: 9:00 a.m. Saturday 10/1
Where: 2908 Field Stone Court (go south on Summerfield, left on Carissa, right on Field Stone)
What: pancakes (chocolate chip and blueberry) and lots of beverage choices and maybe some cartoons!

See you there!
