North Monterey County Condors Cross Country & Track

Track & Field

The North Monterey County High School track team has a long tradition of excellence. This is due in part to the extraordinarily rare occurrence in high schools of having only seven head coaches since the school opened in 1978. Keith Condon, John Simpson, Roger O'Sullivan, Shawn Parker, and Kim O'Malley built the foundation and now Temo Trujillo and Gustavo Ibarra help continue the tradition. The amazing part is that four of them continue to coach the track team and John Simpson is currently the Assistant Principal!
The teams have racked up an amazing 65 league titles including 23 by the Varsity Boys, 21 by the Frosh/Soph Boys, 12 by the Varsity Girls and 9 by the Frosh/Soph Girls in 30 years!
Check below and see the great success that the teams have had throughout the years!!

Tradition Counts!

The North Monterey County High School Boys' Cross Country team has a long tradition of excellence. This is due in part to the extraordinarily rare occurrence in high schools of having only three coaches since the school opened in 1978. Keith Condon coached from 1978 to 1988. In that time his teams amassed an impressive record and gained much recognition in the Central Coast Section. Among the teams many fine accomplishments, they ran up a record of 39-0 in league meets from 1980-1986. In 1989 Bruce White took on the enormous task of continuing the great tradition that Coach Condon began. In 2001, Gustavo Ibarra joined Bruce and they coached together until Bruce's retirement in 2004 when the team had its finest single season winning a 14th league title, winning back to back CCS (CA section) championships, and placing 2nd at the state championships! Coach Ibarra began 2005 alone and hopes to continue the great tradition!
On this site is evidence of the commitment the coaches have made to creating a program dedicated to excellence.

5-16-09 MBL FINALS!
The Frosh Soph Boys and Girls highlighted the day by DEFENDING THEIR MBL TITLES!  The youngsters did a great job all year! Congrats!!!
On the Varsity side of things, the track Gods did not smile upon the team this time around.  With some major injuries to some key athletes and some jinxed last set of hurdles, the Condors did their best and fought a good fight! 
The Varsity Boys had the meet in hand and saw it slip away throughout the day with big hits left and right.  They still battled to the end and made it a close meet to eventual champions Monterey.  Congrats to Daniel Marquez (HJ) and to Zack Wilhelm (300 hurdles) for their individual titles.
The Varsity Girls knew it was going to be a big task to knock off Monterey and it was.  The ladies came ready for the challenge and performed at a very high level but just came up short with depth.  Congrats to Tate Sahara (LJ and TJ), Nadine Huerta (400 and 4x400), Jovita Trujillo (1600, 800, and 4x400), Mayra Tostado (4x400), and Elsa Solorio (4x400) for their individual titles!

5/7/09 The Condors soared over Monterey taking 3 out of 4 divisions to wrap up our dual meet season.  The Varsity Boys led the way with a convincing win and the Frosh/Soph Boys and Girls pulled out close wins!  The Varsity Girls put up a very valiant fight and kept it close until the last 2 events! The teams are now a combined 19-1!!!!!! Even with the loss the Varsity Girls stand in a tie for first place in league along with Monte Vista and Monterey all at 4-1.  Our Varsity Boys, F/S Boys and F/S Girls are all alone in first place at 5-0! All four teams head into league finals with a great shot for the title in all four divisons!
