Knowing it was going to be a big year for the Mountain View High School cross country team, dozens of the school's other runners waited at the finish line this winter at the Central Coast Section championship in Monterey.
They painted themselves in black and yellow, the school's colors, waved signs and cheered as 14 varsity runners made Mountain View High history, winning CCS by 89 points and sending much of the team on to the state competition. Junior Garrett Rowe won the boys' race and senior Mary Reynolds placed second in the girls' competition.
"This is the best Mountain View team there has been in history," Rowe said.
The team's success did not end at CCS: The boys' team came in third at the state championships and the girls came in fourth. Rowe ran the 5-kilometer race in 15:03, making him the 13th fastest runner in the nation.
"We were just hoping he would be in the top half, and out of 200 he was 13th," said Evan Smith, the school's cross country coach. "We just have a lot of talent."
