| Nice rainbow right over MCHS on 11/2/15 on the same week of NBL Championships? ...Coincidence?! -I don't think so! |
Varsity NBL Pennants will be presented based on total points (50% on Center Meets, 50% on NBL Championships, with tie-breaker going to NBL Team Champion on this day), in other words, MCHS Varsity teams must win the NBL Team Championship to win the NBL Pennant. Going into this meet, the MCHS Boys are ahead in points and the MCHS Girls are tied with Santa Rosa in points. However, Rosa has been racing very well of recent and expected to challenge; this should be a great competition, YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT!
RESULTS: Race results will be posted on the PD Running Blog LINK shortly after this event
