..What to look forward to this 2016 Season:
  • Lots of Miles / Lots of Smiles!   JV Runners will complete ~30 miles/wk x 12 weeks (360 miles total), Varsity ~45 x 15 weeks (675 miles total)!
  • 13 Races! (15 for Varsity with the NCS and State Championships)
  • 35+ Park Training Days we'll be running in the park (Howarth Park, Annadel Park, Spring Lake), other days we'll be training on MCHS campus or adjacent Montecito Park.
  • Adventurous Saturday Runs (typically 10AM, dates TBD) when we don't have races
  • 8 Ohana Nights (a.k.a. "Pasta Feeds", where parents host dinner at their houses)

MCHS 2015 Girls NBL Champs
(crazy streak =12 years in a row!)
November Championship Season: MCHS will be competing in NCS/State in Div III (dropping down from Div II which had a much higher enrollment) hoping this will enable our varsity teams to place higher in the State Championships than in recent years.
