GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY PREVIEW: SANTA CRUZ STEPPING UP THIS YEAR
I know we all enjoy seeing our sport covered in local newspapers. When it comes to the paper that covers cross country and track and field the best, the Santa Cruz Sentinel is right there at the top. Check out the link below as the Sentinel gives us a SCCAL preview that includes one of the best teams in NorCal, the Santa Cruz girls.

FASTEST PREP MILERS
For those of you that love stats, Track and Field updated their list of high school all-time mile lists for prep only races. Cooper Teare made the list four times, just last season alone.
