It was a draw but now Mcfarland has taken the rubber match and beat Ridgeview fairly convincingly and came close to beating division one power Clovis West (1. Clovis West 61 2. McFarland 69 3. Ridgeview 96) at this week's meet at Cutler Park.

Once again Mcfarland did it with there pack running style, they were lead by freshman Erick Garcia (16:19) who came in 7th overall. He was followed by:

13. Jose Monrreal (McFarland) 16:46
14. Marco Camargo (McFarland) 16:47
16. Francisco Nava (McFarland) 16:54
19. Marco Perez (McFarland) 17:01

Having your top five in the top 19 is excellent at a meet of this caliber. Their time spread of 42 seconds for the three mile course will tighten up even more as the season progresses. Besides taking second overall, the Cougars won the medium size school division (1. McFarland 19 2. Parlier 58 3. Exeter 60 4. Yosemite 103 5. Granite Hills 139 6. Kingsburg 156 7. Orosi 177)

Ridgeview was lead by Robby Baker (Sr) who came in second overall in 16:00. He was followed by his team Alex Garcia who ran 16:02. Scoring 5 points with your first two runners is a coaches dream but no other Ridgeviwer cracked the top 20 and hence the other three athletes score 94 points. In the extra large schools division, Ridgeview took second (1. Clovis West 32 2. Ridgeview 42 3. Tulare Western 84 4. Clovis East 95 5. Reseda 141 6. Hoover 145).
