Bennett Zhang was selected to the All-CCS Team as an honorable mention–check it out! This recognition is a tribute to Bennett’s hard work; not only this season, but for the past four years. Bennett was known as a teammate who would consistently give his best effort in practices and during competition, and it’s nice to see Bennett recognized as one of the top runners in the Central Coast Section.
You might notice that there are no Monta Vista girls on the team–despite the fact that the MVXC girls were the fourth team in CCS by the time we got to State. Personally, I think this is a tribute to our team. Monta Vista’s team was ranked higher than 16 teams that had individuals recognized on the CCS team; what we had was a large group of hard working, persistent athletes that kept working away and achieved as a group. I’m proud of that!
Congratulations to Bennett on his recognition, and congratulations again to all the hard-working boys and girls on MVXC! Bennett’s award is an individual award, but also an award for everyone on the team–we all work hard together.
