MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY
2007 Season Recap
For the first time in several years
the SDCC men's cross country team challenged and beat many teams
in Southern California. They advanced to the SoCal Regionals for
the first time since the 1990s, although by default from the
California fires in October, and managed to defeat 3-4 teams in
the process. Until this past season, the team had finished last
in every meet and invite the for several years in a row. The
men's team was large with 15 participants varying from ages
18-66 years old and, because of the team size, the top seven
changed every week. The team consisted of 6-7 military veterans,
two student-athletes with State championship experience, and
newcomers from various other sports including soccer, football,
and boxing. Everyone of these student-athletes made a
contribution in the "rebuilding" of the SDCC men's cross country
program.
