We had a great weekend in Fresno at the State meet.

Whilst the boys didn’t place very high 21/25, as only the 5th team to qualify for State since the meet began back in 1987 they ran the fastest team time in NG history. Led by Senior Francis Chmielewski, the boys ran a collective time was 83:28 which averages 16:42 for the longer 5k race distance run at Woodward Park.

This is only the second time in school history we have qualified both teams simultaneously and the girls continued to cement their performance this season as the strongest we have ever seen. They placed 6th in State, improving on the 1994 team led by Alison Lambert that was 7th, and ran a collective team time of 93:25, almost five minutes faster than the one they set the prior year, led by a 17th place finish from Olivia Joseph.
