Go to our new site to see: RESULTS Canyon Results Signal Article Daily News Article Photos

We now have a new website: http://www.canyonxc.com/
thanks to freshman, Austin Bell's dad, Robert Bell

The reason for the new site is threefold:
1. Mobile Me, the site that now hosts all of our photo galleries, will soon be shut down by Apple.
2. This new site using "WordPress" is interactive! Members can log in and post comments, and
EASILY upload photos. (this was a problem with mobile me).
3. I will be able to update the site including results, photos, and announcements from my iPhone!

I haven't been able to update this site due to a computer problem. I will keep this site
until the end of the season and made a decision which to continue with then. Please visit
the new site, register (you can even do it via Facebook) and tell me what you want on the site
if it isn't already there. If you have any photos of the meets this season, please add to the
photo galleries that Mr. Bell has painstakenly put up on the site.

This Wednesday the coaches will host a team dinner at Canyon in room S-4 at 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
The menu is cheesburgers, or hotdogs, chips, fruit, and salad. We will try out our new bar-b-q.

Thursday is Foothill League Finals! The meet starts at 1:00 pm:
JV boys 1:00
JV girls 1:30
Frosh/Soph boys 2:05
Frosh/Soph girls 2:40
Varsity boys 3:15
Varsity girls 3:40

Here are the team results of league #1 and #2

Our Boys Varsity is currently tied with Valencia for 4th, while GV is in 1st and Hart and Saugus are tied for 2nd.
Our Girls Varsity is currently is in 3rd with Saugus in 1st followed by Valencia. League finals count double,
so if our Girls beat Valencia we will tie for 2nd. Also, the league finals are scored using invitational scoring, not
dual meet scoring. For an individual to gualify for CIF he (or she) must place in the top 6 and not be on
a qualifying team.

fine job of runing even pace. Madi's mile split was 6:15. Zach's was 5:10. Do the MATH!

CANYON RESULTS A close look at these shows we are a bit better than last years team on the boys side:
Our team time in 2010 was 81:51. This years team ran 81:30! Last year Zach finished 20th in the Sophomore
race in 17:12. This year he placed 8th in the Jr race in 15:32 (1:40 PR!) . But the Girls WOW!!! Last year
our team time was 105:21 and our fastest time was 20:35. This year our team time was 98:22 (This is a 7:00
minute improvement!) Our last years #1 would have placed 7th on this team. It's going to be an exciting season!

One local Blogger picks Canyon GIRLS and BOYS to place 5th in the Foothill League this year. We'll see.
Here's his comment after league #1 " the Canyon girls were the story of the day, upsetting both strong West Ranch and Golden Valley squads in third, although standouts Taylor Welker, younger sister of 14th place finisher Ashley Welker, and Weslie Totten, twin sister of Chelsey, didn't compete."

Stephen Kent in green #33 running for Cal Poly Pomona

This from Stephen Kent: The race was the D2 West Regionals, it was in Bellingham, WA.
We arrived Friday afternoon, and there was no rain, everything was just wet, we went out and jogged the
course, it was all very green and an awesome course. Friday night around 7:45 it started to snow, a lot.
When I woke up everything was really white, and we got to the course and the temperature was around
28-30 degrees when we raced, about 4 inches of snow and mud underneath made the course extremely
hard to run, the distance was a 10k. I was the 2nd man on the team, right behind our number one, I placed
29th in 33:16, our 5 man gap was only 22 seconds! Unfortunately, our team was 5th place even with that,
and only the top 4 teams move on to nationals. However, our girls team was 4th, and they made nationals.
So now my college cross country career is over, and it's time to rest and then gear up for track and set some
new pr's and try for a provisional qualifier for nationals
