Mt SAC Results are not yet available due to some computer malfunctions at the meet. I was told not to exptect them
until Monday morning. Hopefully, they will fix the problem soon. However, I want to say that the coaching staff was
VERY pleased with our efforts today. The weather cooperated and some very good times were run. Jason Hillquist
is "unofficially" a "LEGEND" running a pr in about 15:22. Zach Wims was our second finishter in 15:34 and is also now
officially a LEGEND!

Valeria Soto was our top girl and she just missed the 18:35 cutoff (AGAIN). Our girls team placed 3rd in our race with at
95:35 team time. This is 5th on our "All Time List!" and the fastest a Canyon team has run since 2003! Our boys were 6th
in their race with at team time of 80:31. Had the boys been in any other division 2 race, they would have won. Photos HERE.
We find out when we get to the meet that it is on the internet LIVE This would have been nice to know before the meet.

Alumni Update: Timothy Gonzales (Southern Oregon University) raced at the Beaver Classic Invitational Meet in Corvallis, Oregon.
He finished the 8k in 39th place out of 147 in a time of 26:05. Finishing 9th for the SOU team which secured his spot
for the Cascade Conference Championships Meet in 2 weeks. The Conference meet is prelims to the NAIA National
Championships. He will need to place in the top 8 on his team in order to get to the Championships.

Monday's races were VERY close! In the Boys Varsity Canyon placed 3rd behind Saugus and Golden Valley,
beating Hart by 1 point! In League #1 we were 4th.

Valeria Soto #1 Cowboy! School course record 18:29.

Notice that Valeria's time of 18:29 was good enough to be our #8 Varsity Boy! I have never seen only
7 boys not be PINK! in my 39 years as a cross country coach! Needless to say our boys JV and FS teams placed 6th.
This is also a new girls school course record! (Thanks to the Hart coach designing the 9th different course in the past 9 seasons).
In League #1 Valeria finished 18th but moved up to 8th yesterday! Notice that nearly every girl improved her
place in league. Our Girls Varsity place 4th behind Saugus, West Ranch, and Valencia, beating Golden Valley by 1.
We will need a big effort at Mt SAC this Saturday, and hopefully be at full strength. If we are ranked in
the top 13 (I think) for two weeks, we might possibly get into CIF Prelims as an at large team. Otherwise,
we must finish at least 3rd in the Boys and 2nd in the girls at League Finals to qualify for CIF. I believe
we can do this with confident racing and good training the last half of the season.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day was the 2nd place finish by our girls F/S team. We beat West Ranch by 1 point.
We were led by freshmen Stephanie Martinez and Vanessa King, and sophomores Malissa Janes, and Ariana Saenz!

Our JV girls team was led by Melissa Gomez 7th place in 21:26 in her first race of the season. Kristi Goodspeed
had another PR running 22:22 for 14th place (she finished 36th in her first league meet!)

From CIF Ranking: Notes: People should not take the Saugus dynasty’s opening-month success for granted. There are many
new faces to the varsity lineup this fall and those newbies are very deserving of respect and praise. The names may change but
the level of sacrifice and quality of work ethic sure hasn’t… The next three teams have all shown the potential to threaten
Saugus or, at least, battle for the runner-up plaque. This past weekend, it was Canyon that stepped up best….

We ran our FS and JV Teams at SeaSide in Ventura and had a good time, literally! We saw lots of athletes compete for the first
time in a Cross Country Race. The Coaches were pleased with the effort and progress the team is making.

better PHOTO on Dyestat Cal and now HERE
The star of the show was sophomore Caleb Mc Clain who ran an incredible 15:44 to finish 7th in the Sophomore race.
Last year in this meet he ran 20:23 and took 130th place in the Freshman Race! That's a 4:39 PR! WOW!!

Senior, Ian Cunningham also showed incredible improvement. This is his 4th race at SeaSide. His progression since his
Freshman year is 22:44, 18:39, 19:13, and this year 17:08! This is nearly a 2 minute improvement over last year.

Our top Girl in the races was Freshman Vanessa King who ran an impressive 20:38 for her first High School race of her
young career. This effort is after very limited training one the last month or so, as she is nursing an injury.

Fall Track and Cross Country Athletes. Today is the first day of school. We will meet on the track at 2:10. We expect you to
be dressed and ready to work out. That includes the first day. So don't say "I didn't bring my clothes" "I don't have a locker"
Please bring a lock and we will try to get you a locker. IF that doesn't happen, you can put your bag with your school clothes
and books in one of our cars or the team van during practice. We will have a short practice both Thursday and Friday and we
are hoping it won't be as hot as the last several days.

Cross Country will meet at the "Beast" at 6:30 Saturday morning. Take 14 fwy south exit Newhall Ave and turn left. Park at
the end of the street in the park and ride area. If you can't get a ride to the Beast, the Team Van and a couple of coaches
cars will be leaving at 6:00 am.
