MCHS Cross Country Team Headed to Regionals!

From MCHS Cross Country Coach:

The cross country runners ran tough this morning through mud and rain.  They did not let anything effect them on their way to qualifying for regionals.  The varsity girls finished 3^rd only 11 points out of first and 7 from second.  They were led by Ashleigh Fuelling (4^th), Isabel Balbontin (8^th) and Tiffany Messenger (10^th).  The other varsity girls are Jennifer Molina, Bridget Clark, Jocelyn Judge and Lauren Shedd.  This is only the 5^th time in school history that the girls have qualified for regionals.  The boys also finished third in a hard fought race.  The boys were led by Fidel Leon (9^th) and Nick Dalheim (10^th).  The other varsity boys are Sarang Joshi, Isaiah Chavira, Derek Jones, Zavier Bonilla, and Alex Cui.  The freshman boys also finished 3^rd as a team in their race.  They were led by Kevin Arguello (6^th) and Jacob Galindo (10^th).  The rest of the freshman team are Aldo Velasquez, Angel Dahar, Victor Farias, Jesus Pizano, and Jesus Rosales.  The JV girls ran hard and finished 6^th.  They were led by Beatriz Thames and Tabitha Dhodapkar.  Other members of the team were Lauren Crider, Brianna Roberts and Catherine Tannahill.  The varsity boys and girls will run next Saturday in Humble to compete for a chance to go to state.
