Race Snippets from the 2019 Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) from a Newbury Park High School Parent

Описание: It was a cold, wet, muddy day today at the Nike Cross Nationals at Glendoveer Golf Course in Portland, Oregon. That didn't stop Newbury Park High School Senior Nico Young from winning in commanding fashion in a course record time of 14 minutes, 52 seconds. Nico led the team from Newbury Park, California to victory in the team competition.

It was an extremely close team race, with the team from Great Oak High School (Temecula) in 2nd by only 4 points and 3rd place Draper, Utah (Corner Canyon High School team) just 10 points behind Temecula.

What a thrill to be a Newbury Park HS Cross Country team parent. I wasn't able to catch the finish of the race, but here are some scenes from other junctures, as well as the post race excitement.

Congratulations also go out to the girls team in the first time invitation to this prestigious event, finishing 17th in the country!

Newbury Park Head Coach Sean Brosnan led the teams with the help of assistant coaches Tanya Brosnan and Steve Hawkins.

NP boys team in scoring order: Nico Young (senior), Jace Aschbrenner (senior), Colin Sahlman (sophomore), Nick Goldstein (junior), Daniel Appleford (sophomore), Leo Young (freshman), Thomas McDonnell (junior).

NP girls team in scoring order: Hailey Golmon (senior), Sam McDonnell (sophomore), Fiona Hawkins (junior), Archana Mohandas (senior), Ailish Hawkins (freshman), Hannah Rounds (freshman), Gretchen Slattum (senior).

Additionally, Thousand Oaks High School Senior Michael Mireles was invited to run at the event as an individual and finished 25th overall. Jace Aschbrenner of NP was 18th. Way to go guys!
