Southern Nevada Zone Meet 

10/30/99 at Indian Springs, NV 
High desert terrain: 5K (4/5 difficulty)
Weather conditions: good--sunny and warm (mid 70’s) light winds

from Phil Lawton

Comments: No real surprises here. In boys 4A competition Bonanza, led by Cory 
Jeffers and Jon Spendlove, had too much depth to not prevail. The Bengals 
match up with South Tahoe (winners of the Northern Zone) next week should be 
interesting. In a mild upset Cimarron qualified for State over Silverado. The 
boys 4A race was marred by THREE false starts and recalls that seemed to sap 
the energy of the front runners and may have contributed to “slow” times. 
Plus the desert terrain was pretty well “chewed up” by the time the 4A 
runners got to race. Boulder City had a “cake walk” among lower-divison 
teams. Look for them to win State next week. 

Girls competition showed just 
how good Green Valley is--and probably deserving of some kind of “national 
ranking.” Abby Miller seems “a lock” for her fourth individual State title 
next week and the Gators seem destined to get that elusive first team State 
Championship for coach Jeff Doyle. Likewise, Boulder City’s girls had an easy 
time of it and will be the 3A favorites next week at State. All the times are 
deceptively slow as evidenced by Jeffers’ and Miller’s “slow” times. (Both 
ran over two minutes faster last week at Mt. SAC.) The Indian Springs course 
is no “walk in the park” with its soft footing and rocky desert wash. John 
Dixon (Foothill head coach) spoke for most Southern Nevada coaches when he 
lamented loudly: “We need a new course for next year!”
