Runner of the Week
Matthew Wappler
     Matthew has his highest team finish of his career as his outkicks Jose Chavez.  Running a 21:18, he is only seconds from a PR and looks prepared to crush his performances from previous years.  After placing seventh on the team, he has earned himself a spot on Varsity in the First Annual Rick Miller Relays.  Matthew's performance was the bright spot on a day when the Cardinals placed last.

Runner of the Week
Tim Cude
     Senior MVP Tim Cude picks up his first individual win of the season with Trent Fulk from Nederland right on his heels until the last mile.  Hands down the leader of this team, Tim's first place finish sparked the guys on their way to our third consecutive Team Title.  Tim has finished fourth at regionals the past two seasons, and this year he's ready to move up a couple spots.  Next week we'll see Hudson and Huffman, and he'll get a glimpse of where he stands.

Runners of the Week
Lejuene, Hogan, and Hebert
     I really don't like picking several people when I pick the runner of the week, but this week there was no way to leave any of these three guys out.  We had only had one goal for today.  Beat Hudson.  We knew if we could do that, we have a great shot of making it to State.  Well the last mile was an awesome race b/w Hudson's 3, 4 and our 3, 4, 5.  Well our 3, 4, 5 came through Sat, and that's why we won.  It was an awesome weekend, but don't get satisfied because neither Huffman nor Hudson was full strength.  Both were missing guys, so we're going to have to keep improving if we expect to make it to State.

Runner of the Week
Matthew Wappler
     Watching the Varsity guys get warmed up for their race, I could tell they weren't really ready to race today.  It just didn't look like we had our game face on.  After beating Nederland by 14 at their meet, we almost got beat today.  Luckily for us, they were not at full strength, as they were missing a few runners.  In the 3A race, however, the JV guys stepped up and delivered a second win for BC.  I can't remember us ever winning both the big school and small school divisions at the same meet.  Leading the way for the JV guys was Matthew Wappler.  Matthew ran the race of his life, as he was only 20 seconds behind the fifth man on Varsity.  Matthew's performance was good enough for me to make room for one JV runner on our trip to McNeil next weekend.

Runner of the Week
Kirby Shepherd & Tim Cude
     Kirby steps up to lead his team while Tim Cude gets seconds away from a PR competing in the 4A/5A division.  Kirby ran an amazing race as he was able to PR by 20 seconds on one of the toughest courses we run on.  Nobody could have predicted how well he would run today.  Kirby's finish helped spark us to an eight place finish out of 38 teams.  Tim arrived late to the starting line, and had to start behind 396 runners!  So much for getting out, he had to work to move up as far as he did.  If you add Tim to the race, we place third.  Only 45 points behind division winner Sanger.  We did very well today, and we are starting to look like the Region III favorites.  But Hudson and Huffman will be ready for us on Nov 7, so we had better keep working.  If all goes well, we'll get another shot at Sanger at the State Meet.

Runner of the Week
Luke Hebert
     Over the years BC has had pretty good success in CC, but for various reasons we've never competed at Nike South.  With a change in date, this year we finally got the chance.  The guys were really fired up to go run some fast times.  But then it rained.  And rained.  And next thing you know the course was covered in mud.  Pretty much every Varsity guy in the program ran about 1 minute slower than last week.  But Hebert was only 30 seconds away from his PR on a day when most runners don't even come close.  Today Luke placed third on the team, his highest team place of the season.  So far this season, four different runners have been third man on the team.  That depth is what is going to carry us far this season.

Runner of the Week
The Long Red Line
     Saturday October 25 = District Title Number Ten (8 out of the last 9) For The Cardinals.  Today was a great effort by our guys.  Our goal was to place all seven girls in the top 10, and bring home both the team and invidual titles.  Our seventh man placed eighth, Tim won the race, and we won yet another team title.  This has been a great year.  I know it has been a trying year, but keep on working for two more weeks.  You have a chance to make back to back trips to State.  Don't take anything for granted.  We're not going to make it just because we did last year.  We have to earn it all over again.  Give me two more hard weeks, and I'll give you two nights in Round Rock!!  Great Job Guys!!

Region III Meet - 11/7

State Meet - 11/14

Runner of the Week
Tim Cude
     This is definitely the easiest runner of the week Tim has ever obtained.  Tim placed 12th at the State Meet running a 16:29 5K.  A couple of the guys that beat Tim are graduating, so with hard work he has a great shot of cracking the top five as a senior.  Our lone state qualifier this year, Tim hopes to have a few teammates along for the ride next year.

Runner of the Week
Mary Nguyen
     Coming off the best track season of her career, Mary kick started her junior CC campaign by winning the Nederland scrimmage meet for the second straight season.  But the difference is this year Huffman was there.  One of their top girls was out with an injury, but Mary was able to defeat the other two for the first time.  Mary leads a dedicated Varsity girls team that is hungry to make it back to Round Rock for the first time since 2003.  This is probably the most talented girls team I've coached, and they have a great shot to do it.
