@joesimmons008 @CCExpress Also, how have the regions performed recently (say a 3 year rolling average)?

[Patrick Donohue @xcdad707]

@joesimmons008 @CCExpress Interesting point. This year the at-large schools, minus TX school, ALL did great. I'd like to see how this has historically played out. How have at-large's done in the past?

[Patrick Donohue @xcdad707]

Cheering for your fellow Monty Girl Mariah, plus Carrillo, Casa, and many other Redwood Empire kids, your team has been the bar these kids still reach for, what a legacy!

I wrote about my CA State Meet experience as a freshman at Montgomery HS in 2000.
On the eve of the state championship this year, I hope you enjoy this story as told through my 14-year-old eyes.
Good luck to all participants at Woodward Park tomorrow!

I kinda like the “run tomorrow like it might be your last” would play well in many cases ;)

[Brandon Bronzan @BrandonBronzan]

My Cross Country team didn’t know what happened at the end of “Prefontaine”. I think my attempt at an inspirational movie before NCS might have backfired. Also, how can it be that not 1 out of about 20 kids knew the ending of “Prefontaine”. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Redwood Empire is going to make a statement tomorrow, glad to have PD there! Many individuals and teams poised to take pennants and make state!

[Kerry Benefield @Benefield]

I know everyone is going to be up late tonight tuning into @CIFNCS playoff football, but remember to set your alarms bright and early - I'll be in Hayward at NCS cross country championships. Column, notebook, video & updates. It's going to be good, people. @NorthBayNews @pdpreps

[Rich Gonzalez @PrepCalTrack]

We’re still 10 days away and much can — and likely will — change, but the current forecast for the state meet is temperatures in the mid-40s at the start of the meet (Brrrrr!) to a high of 60 by the end of the meet. Rain is forecast in the three days leading up to the meet too!
