BOYS XC WINS AT RICHARD SPRING INVITE!
The Mason boys cross country team journeyed to the prestigious Richard spring invitational in Peoria, Illinois on Saturday. It was a great day for the Comets as they pulled off wins in both the open and the varsity races. Mason took down some storied Illinois programs with their tough team-running tactics. As has all season, Caden Winship leads the way for the green and white. He was followed by Will Buckalew and Jason Xu. Luke Berkebile and Paras Yadav rounded out the scoring for Mason. Eli Amshoff and Logan ably served as displacers.
The Comets also sent a limited squad to the Princeton Invitational on Saturday. Starting with the 26th man on the depth chart, the varsity performed well taking a solid 4th out of 12 teams.
Next up for the Comet Boys is an invitational at Sycamore on Thursday. The team will run a limited varsity at this event.

GIRLS XC RICHARD SPRING INVITE RECAP
This past weekend the Mason Girls XC team had a big battle in Peoria at the Richard Spring Invitational with Addi Stephens leading the way. She got out hard and raced with great courage in this 3-mile contest.
Atalia Hawkins ran well and was our 2nd Comet, with Tessa Palmer, Emily Moran, and Eva Mathur (Freshman) not too far back.
The girls battled hard in this huge race with 60 teams and 500 racers. Without a few of our top guns, the girls faced an uphill battle, but they raced well and gave a great effort to take 13th place overall.
Next up for Mason is the Sycamore Stoneberger Invite on Thursday, Sept. 26th.

GIRLS' TENNIS FIRST AT COACHES CLASSIC
"B" COMETS TAKE THIRD!
The top-ranked Comets placed first in the GCTCA Coaches' Classic on Saturday. Coach Mike Reid split the squad in half, entering an A and a B team in flight A which also had teams from Sycamore (5th ranked), St. Ursula, and Indian Hill (ranked #1 in D2).
The "A" team took first place (21pts). edging Indian Hill by one point. The "B" squad took third place with 15 points. The Aviators finished fourth with 12 points and St. Ursula had seven points.
Senior, Sonal Marla offered her thoughts on the tournament. "I think that this tournament showed how deep this team is. We were missing two of our top players in Patryusha and Addison and we were still able to win the tournament."
Marla's co-captain, senior Harshita Ganga added, "This was a great opportunity for some of the kids who don't get as much playing time to show that they can play with the best in the city."
The Comets again showed that doubles is their strength. Mason won both doubles flights with the A team and the B team was runner-up in each.
In Singles, the Comets placed second at #1 singles and #2 singles.
Flight winners: Moreno and Singidi at #1 doubles, Gotike and Zhang at #2 doubles.
2nd place: Wagner at #1 singles, Podili at #2 singles, Marla and Ganga at #1 doubles, and Chandrasekar and Srinivasan at #2 doubles.
