MMC CLUSTER 3 (Davis Park)

On 10/15/14 the seven MMC schools met at Davis Park to compete in the third "Cluster Meet" of the season. The cooler temperatures were a pleasant change. As always the kids competed at a high level for places and for pride.

Mendoza and Names take the pace from the gun

VARSITY GIRLS
Arielle Names (Downey) and Savannah Mendoza (Modesto) pulled away from the field at the gun and ran side by side for over 2.5 miles until Names threw in a hard surge to easily pull away for her third straight cluster victory. Mendoza would coast home for a solid second. The real (repeated) story would be the wave of Downey blue swarming the finish line: 5 of the top 6; 7 of the top 12; 10 in the top 20.

VARSITY BOYS
Jeremy Hart (Gregori), who transferred from Big Valley and therefore had to sit out for 9 weeks, took the pace at the start. It appeared that he had a build up of nine weeks of adrenalin, unfortunately (for him), the pace he set was beyond his ability and about half way through the race he began to die.

Hart takes it out too fast

Mario Medina (Gregori) then took the lead and easily cruised in for the victory. Anthony Arauza (Gregori) came from behind and passed a number of Modesto High runners over the final 200m to take second. But it was Modesto with the next 4 spots to easily take the team victory in the third straight cluster.
