The San Jose Mercury News announced their All-Santa Clara county teams this morning, and Monta Vista was represented in both boys and girls!
Kevin Bishop was selected for the First Team, recognizing a very strong senior season which included second place finishes in the strong De Anza League and in the Central Coast Section Division 1, and a top-20 finish in the California State Meet. Jenny Xu was selected for the Second Team, based on her first place finish in the DAL, a medalist at CCS and a top-50 finish at State. Jenny was the only freshman girl on the First or Second girls’ teams.
Congratulations, Kevin and Jenny, on your well-deserved honors! This recognition is due to your own hard work, determination and perseverance.
For the goal-oriented, analytical athletes reading this–hmm, that does sound like a Monta Vista student-athlete, doesn’t it?–here is the range of times the all-county team members ran at at the 2.95 mile Crystal Springs course during CCS finals. With some determination and long-term effort, these times are not out of reach for some of us, are they?
