Ranked 29th in the State

With nine state titles under its belt, McFarland is looking for the elusive tenth. Over the past years they were 2nd in 2008, 3rd in 2007, 4th in 2006 and 5th in 2005. So following the trend the should be first this fall.

They have not won since 2001, but with four returnees from the second place squad and a super freshman, who just broke a ten year plus record Junior Olympic's 3000m mark (9:08), this should be their year.

Coach Ayon has done a little tweeking with training this summer and hopes to have his squad peak a little later this season. Last year, they ran into a juggernaut, named Big Bear, that ran the fastest all time state performance as a team in the history of division four. This year Coach Ayon wants his Cougars at top form at the state meet and may forgo some traveling to do this.
