NBL XC Finals History / MCHS Legacy:
JV Boys: Have been top team since 2004
JV Girls: Have won all titles since 2003
*Varsity Boys: Have won last 3 years in row (and 9 of the last 12 years)
*Varsity Girls: Have won title last 12 years in a row)
*Varsity Races are limited to only 7 runners, the rest will run in the unlimited JV races
NBL Championships Nov 6, 2015 Outlook:
JV Races: With the limit on the top 7 for the Varsity rosters and the depth in quality for our team this year, this should make for some very impressive team performances for MCHS! Keeping in mind, some of our runners who will not make the top 7 MC Varsity, would be very solid Varsity contributors at other local schools, outstanding runners in their own right, for sure! Also, be aware, some athletes are still trying to make our Varsity standard (sub 17:00 for Boys and sub 21:00 for Girls) on the Spring Lake course. ...Please show up early to cheer on our JV teams!
Varsity Races: For the Boys, Santa Rosa has been a very tough opponent all season long, with the MC Boys winning by the slimmest of margins in both Center Meet races this year. We're expecting to race a full roster and looking forward to seeing what they can do; either way, it promises to be a tight race! With the new NBL scoring format, if Rosa wins the NBL championship meet, they would win the NBL Pennant outright, so our Boys have to bring it! For the MC Girls, Santa Rosa handed them their first NBL lost (by 1 point!) in 13 years; it took Rosa the best team time they've ran since '98 to beat the Pumas. ...Hampered without Rosa's #2 runner finishing, our MC Girls beat Rosa by 18 points in the 10/21/15 Center Meet, but this past weekend, the Rosa girls looked impressive, winning their Varsity Race on a tough Mt. SAC course in L.A.
NCS Rankings (as of 10/18/15) Top 3 qualify for State Championships:
Div II Varsity Boys: Ranked 1st ahead of a tough Redwood and Dublin team (Rosa is Div I)
Div II Varsity Girls: Ranked 3rd behind state ranked Redwood and Granada (Newman is Div IV)
GO PUMAS!!!
