More NBL Superlatives

A final wrap-up with a summary of some "under the radar" accomplishments from the NBL Meet.
  • By running 16:17 while winning the JV race, Colin Bartlett ran the fastest JV time at NBLs when run at Spring Lake  (previous best, 16:40 by Chris Bendana in 2005).  Spencer Jones (16:23) and Jordan Scobey (16:24) also ran faster than the previous best.
  • Allie Ahern's 19:55 effort in taking the Girls JV race was also the fastest JV time on record (previous best 20:21 by Jenna Lundgren in 2007).  Sam Perry ((19:56) and Abby Orgish (20:12) also finished under the previous standard.
  • Not surprisingly given the above, both JV teams put together the fastest JV team times ever recorded, and by very large margins.
    • Boys team time of 1:23:22 beat the previous best of 1:24:29 set by MCHS last year
    • The Girls' 1:40:45 crished their previous best of 1:44:16 set in 2009.
  • The JV Boys time would have placed them in a tie for 4th in the NBL Varsity race this year.
    • Combining SCL and NBL results, 29 boys from all schools ran 16:24 or faster - 10 of them were Pumas.
  • The JV Girls' time would have placed them 3rd in the NBL Varsity race this year, and 3rd among all Sonoma/Mendocino County high schools.  Only Casa Grande's varsity from other schools was faster this year.
    • Combining the 2012 SCL and NBL Meet results, a total of 46 girls from all schools ran faster than 21 minutes at Spring Lake - 18 of the 46 were from one school: yep, MCHS!  Next best was 7 by Casa Grande. 
    • Out of 20 total girls breaking 20 minutes, 8 were Pumas
  • MCHS girls have won the last 10 consecutive JV titles, and a Puma girl has taken first 9 out of the last 10 years.
    • Kayla Hordyk was winner in 2011!
  • MCHS boys have won the last 9 consecutive JV titles, and a Puma boy has taken 9 out of the last 10 JV titles.
    • Gus Murray was champ in 2011!
