The big meets this week included the 12th Annual
McNeil Invite in Round Rock TX with 12 South and 4 US ranked teams

Consecutive Cross Country race in the United States."
Boys - Girls
Boys
SO#1/US#14 Flower Mound TX met SO#2/US#20
Corpus Christi King TX for
the first time this season at the McNeil Invite on the Texas state meet
course. The field also included SO#3 Cinco Ranch
TX, SO#4 Kingwood TX,
SO#5 A&M Consolidated TX, SO#6
Cedar Park TX and SO#8 Marcus TX.
Corpus Christi King prevailed with 107 points, a 16:14 average and a
:34 1-5 split. They were led by sr Ari Perez in
7th. "Great American was a great experience last year (15th in ROC).
I told the team if you want to travel this year you've
got to earn it (Nike Team National)," said King Coach Tom
Castillo.
Flower Mound was a close 2nd with 116, a 16:16 average, a 1:05 split
and were led by sr J B Lagos in 4th. Flower
Mound Coach Herbert
Perez was "pleased overall. It's tough when
you have 4 in the top 19 and end up 2nd. This is our 5th man's
1st big meet on varsity so it was a good experience for him and will
pay off down the road."
Cedar Park ran well for 3rd with 167 and a 16:27 average, Cinco Ranch
was 4th with 193 (16:33 avg.), A&M Consolidated took 5th with 238
(16:39 avg.) and Marcus finished 6th with 310 (16:49 avg). Kingwood was
well back in 17th with 416, but ran two teams. Their combined top 5 finishers
would have scored 292 (16:48 avg.) so it may be a question of choosing
the ìrightî 7 to toe the line in the late season.
Next: Flower Mound races at Grace Prep while King is at the Carroll
Invite in Corpus Christi. Cinco Ranch, Kingwood and A&M Consolidated
compete at Humble. Cedar Park will be at Cy Fair while Marcus hosts the
Marcus II Invite.

trophy with 100 points and an 18:07 average on this hilly, very muddy

16:21 clocking in the mud (he ran a course record 15:35 last year in
better conditions). Jenks OK was 3rd with 154 points.
