The men and women of the MCC cross country team were in full throttle
for their meet at Phoenix College Sept. 19, which proved to be more
of a challenge than originally expected.
“This was by far one of the toughest and runner unfriendly
courses we have ever run,” coach Clyde Resendez said. “We
have run some pretty brutal terrain, but this one, added to the
extreme heat, was very tough.”
Of the five competing schools the men consequently finished last.
The women, on the other hand were a bit more satisfied with their
performance finishing first.
Resendez stated, “A course like that one was not only tough
mentally, but can beat you up physically — it’s self-destructive.”
