FINAL RANKINGS

The Stanislaus County Distance blog (Runninn Ruben) has posted the final individual and team rankings for the 2011 XC season. We all know that the Downey teams had a fine season and it didn't go unnoticed in the rankings.

Individually Andrew Osgood came in in the sixth spot on the boys' rankings. he had been ranked as high as #1 earlier in the season, but other county runners were more impressive down the stretch. Sierra, who had been ranked for the past two seasons, faded to about the 8th-10th best in the county. Ruben only posted the top seven--first team. She was unlisted in the final rankings. Maybe this will given her some motivation for her senior season.


The varsity boys barely missed qualifying for the section meet. Their strong efforts in the final meets move the Knights into the 5th spot for the county's team. Considering this is a team that finish LAST in the MMC two years ago, they seem to be headed in the right direction.


The Lady Knights finished 2nd in the MMC. They have moved up one spot in league each of the past three years. One can only hope that the trend continues. For the county they finished third behind a Riverbank team that qualified for the State meet and the MMC champion Modesto squad.

WAY TO GO DOWNEY KNIGHTS!!!
