Earthquake Invite: Last year it had a good showing for a first year meet and this year it has an added attraction. An all boys school from New Zealand (Auckland Grammar School) with a fine running tradition is bringing 28 guys and should put on a great show. Years ago they came to a small scrimmage meet in Hollister and Ibarra took NMC to that event. It was quite a fun event as the kids from New Zealand bring a great spirit and tradition with them not to mention some amazing runners that could compete with the best. They did a big chant and dance that created quite a stir among the local teams. Here is a picture of some of them with the NMC kids back in 2005.
