Although times were the best, it was one of the best team performances we've had in years at Mt. SAC. Our Freshmen girls and Sophomore boys took 3rd place in their races (even after our top freshmen girls took a wrong turn in the 1st valley loop). Individually, Jose Velazquez, who raced while sick, ran the 7th fastest time in school history (16:22), and for the girls, Anahi Rosas ran the 13th fastest (20:54).

Great performances this week at Toro (Center Meet 3 and Monterey Bay Invite). Jose Velazquez ran a 15:58 (2nd in school history), Chris Castro 16:59 (19th), and Emiliano Garcia 17:12 (25th). Anahi Rosas ran 20:18 (7th), Alexandra Campos 21:34 (20th). On the team side, our F/S Boys and Girls are going into League ranked 1st (boys are undefeated). Varsity boys ranked 5th, Varsity girls 5th, JV boys 4th, and JV Girls 2nd. Mt. SAC is in 1 week.

Great performances today at Half Moon Bay. Frosh boys, Soph boys, F/S girls all place 2nd as a team, JV girls are 4th and Varsity boys 6th with Jose Velazquez winning the entire 2.33 mile course (with a massive 150m hill) in 12:35!

Crazy couple days. Friday, our Varsity team ran at Woodward Park in Fresno, facing 90 degree heat. Saturday our JV and F/S teams ran at the Ram Invitational at Westmoor HS against 30mph winds. Great races for the conditions.

Our boys did it again. Fastest team in Salinas for the 3rd time in 4 years. Our boys are starting to come together.

Our first race of the season and it was a very fast course at North County. Jose Velazquez, Andrea Cornelio, and Angel Gonzalez all medaled at the Jackie Henderson Memorial Invitational. They competed against some of the top teams in the area and powerhouses from the Central and Sac-Joaquin Sections

Congrats to Jesus Martinez c/o 2019 for successfully walking on to the CSUMB Cross-Country team making the top 7 in a 4 mile time trial where he ran his PR in the first 3 miles (16:50) with one more to go. Very proud of Jesus, he has so much potential, as he only ran for 2 years in high school.

Andrea getting some nice recognition from @JohnJDevine. Looking to have a solid sophomore year. http://prepnation.blogspot.com/2019/08/andrea-cornelio.html

Jose getting some love by @JohnJDevine of the Monterey County Herald for Fall athletes to watch. http://prepnation.blogspot.com/2019/08/jose-velazquez.html

Peter Maciel has just signed with UC Merced to continue his education and running career in both Cross-Country and Track and Field. So proud of him and his hard work to get to the next level. He is currently the 2nd fastest in school history in the 3200 (9:37.49) and hopes to brings this down more at CCS on Saturday; 4th in school history in the 1600 (4:26.11); 5th at Toro (16:17); 5th at Woodward (16:35); 2nd at Natividad (15:52); and 7th at Mt. SAC (16:27). One of the fastest runners to walk through the halls of Alisal.

That's a wrap! We end the season with a tough race in the smoke and Jose missed State by 5 seconds. Boys finished 7th as a team (1 place better than last year), while our girls finished 11th. It's been a great season, 3 freshmen girls on the varsity team and the boys were the 2nd fastest team in school history!
