The Mason Cross Country Program hosted the 36th annual Mason Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 11th. On their home course, the Mason men came out 3rd behind two very good Indiana schools. This was senior Zach Wills´ debut race of the season. He and Chris Walden of  Carmel, IN battled for about 2 miles until Walden took the lead. Wills finished 2nd in 15:27. Mason was competitive in the last mile and that made the difference over local rival, LaSalle. Seniors Matt Kincaid (9th) and Tate Honaker (17th) ran very well, both finishing with their best times of the season (16:10 and 16:24, respectively). Rounding out the top five for Mason and also running personal best times were sophomore Alex Notton (28th in 16:46) and senior Kyle Lipton (30th in 16:49). The course features straw-bale jumps, a creek crossing and the famous “mulch hill.”

Next up the Comets race at the Alliance Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 19th.

The Mason Comets traveled to the Culver Invitational on Saturday, one of the best cross country venues in the Midwest. The Comets competed against the greatest of Indiana’s cross country programs (and incidently some of the best programs in the Midwest), namely, Columbus North, Carmel, North Central. Also at the meet was OH power, Louisville.

Mason had it’s hands full and lacked some of the sharpness that will come as the season progresses. Matt Kincaid covered 5 kilometers faster than he ever has, breaking the elusive 16 minute barrier. He is now the 3rd fastest in Mason history with a PR of 15:57. Everyone was also talking about the matchup between Zach Wills and other nationally ranked individuals in the race. Wills raced with the leaders from the gun and battled hard, finishing 5th with his best time of the season. Sophomore Alex Notton also ran his best time of the season, finishing in 16:29.

The Mason Girls Cross Country team ran very well on Saturday at the SW Distcit Meet. The windy VOA course was tough on everyone, but the ladies managed a solid win rolling the competition and scoring only 27 points. The goal going in was sub 30, and they did just that! The had all 5 of the scorers in the top 10 spots. They were led by Monica Lake with her 2nd win in as many weeks, and were followed by Tori Martin and Jessica Harrsion. (4th and 5th) After that pair, the next pair came in side by side. Mackenzie Jensen and Bridget McElhenny who both ran a solid race to round out our scoring. The Comets were the class of the meet, besting the next team by over 30 points and would have won the other section by over 50 points. The girls have been on a huge roll, and look to take that roll to TROY next week where they face Regional foes, Centerville, Srpringboro and Lebanon. It will be a tall task, but I believe they are ready for the challenge. The team is really coming together and they are hungry to d
efend their regional title.

Mason will compete for a chance to advance to state next weekend, Oct. 30th at the Regionals in Troy, Ohio.

Mason led 17-10 in the closing seconds, only to see Sycamore’s Will Bundy catch a 12-yard TD pass from Joey Bruscato with 23 ticks remaining. The two teams traded TD runs in the first OT, then after a scoreless second OT, Stein sent the Aves home happy. Comets’ senior David Fulcher, Jr., rushed for 122 yards and two TDs, while senior Singh Bal returned a fumble — one of five forced turnovers — 30 yards for a score midway through the fourth quarter for that 17-10 lead.

Mason finishes the year with its first winning season in the GMC tied for third overall with Sycamore. The Comets bid to finish with a winning record fell short but their 5-5 record was the team's best since 2005 when they also finished with an identical record.

It wasn't a question of "if" the Mason Girls' Golf Team would win another GMC title...it was by how much! There were no surprises on Thursday, Sept. 23rd at the GMC Girls' Golf Championships at Weatherwax. The Lady Comet Golfers ran away with their third league title in the past four years, while setting a new GMC team scoring record. Mason's two-day total of 592 is the best team score in the 27-year history of the GMC and the first time a girl's golf team has broken the 600 barrier.

The Comets started Thursdays final round with a 13 stroke lead over its nearest compettior, Lakota West, and by days end expanded that lead to a remarkable 42 stroke adavantage. West finished with a 634 total to grap 2nd place followed by Sycamore (651), East (683) and Fairfield (706) to round out the top five. How good is a team score of 592? Last year, West won the GMC with a then-record 309-307 (616). Five years ago, in 2005, West won with a 664 (the second-place team shot 732). Ten years ago, West's 715 took top honors.

Three seniors continue to set a standard no other trio in Ohio history can match. Emily Wright, Erin Michel and Jessica Zhang finished the tournament 1, 2, 3 in the final individual standings, a remarkable feat considering the high number of very talented golfers in this conference.

Emily shot 71-68 (139) for the two-day event. Her final round was two shots off the course record which is held by Middltown's Carling Coffing (66 in 2002). Carling also owns the two-day scoring record with a 138 in 2003. Emily ended up winning this years medalist honors and received the 2010 GMC Golfer of the Year title for the 2nd time in her career.

Erin Michel fired a 70-70 (140), putting her just two shots off the all-time record. Talk about improvement...last year, Erin's total was 153... sophomore year, 160...freshman year, 161!

Jessica Zhang tied for third with 73-81 (154), finishing higher than she ever has at this event. Of course, their scores don't matter if they don't have teammates who come through at every match. Tara Liebert's 77 on Thursday placed her 9th overall in the tournament (83-77=160). Jamie Ellison shot a two day total of 163 (82-81) placing her in a tie for 12th overall. Out of the 53 golfers competing, Mason had 5 players in the top 12!

Wright, Michel, Zhang, Liebert and Ellison were all named as 1st Team All-GMC honorees. Head Coach Fred Reeder was named the GMC Coach of the Year for the 2nd time in his career. Of note he was also the FAVC Coach of the Year 3 times.

STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

@ OSU

After the Comets won their first OHSAA state championship in 2008, Coach Fred Reeder Jr. was asked about his team: "We have a chance for a dynasty," he replied.

It's no longer a matter of chance. The Mason Comets have established themselves as the greatest girls' golf team in Ohio history with a record-breaking performance at the 2010 OHSAA state finals at the Ohio State University Gray golf course. The Comets shot 308 on the first day of the tournament to take a 9-stroke lead over Massillon Jackson and an 11-stroke advantage over Medina Highland. On the final day, Mason raced away from the competition, firing a one-day tournament record of 303 (beating the Comets' own record of 307 set in 2008) to post a total score of 611, which shatters the old mark of 630 set by Dublin Coffman in 2000 and tied by the Comets in 2008.

While this is the third straight state title for the Comets - an unprecedented feat in Ohio girls' golf - senior Emily Wright provided a first for Mason: an individual state championship. Emily shot a 70 on the first day to tie Medina Highland's Jessica Porvasnik for the lead. On the second day, playing with Porvasnik, Emily easily pulled away, shooting a 72 and winning the state title by five strokes.

Fellow senior Erin Michel also garnered first-team All-Ohio honors, firing a 78-75 for a two-day total of 153. Senior Jessica Zhang, part of the Big 3 seniors who have played on all three state championship teams, finished at 82-80 (162). The future of Mason golf proved more good days are ahead, as junior Jamie Ellison (79-78 for a 157) and sophomore Tara Liebert (81-78 for 159) showed the depth of the Comet squad.

In the end, the 2010 state title was no contest: the Comets, at 611, finished a full 24 strokes ahead of the runners-up, Massillon Jackson (635). Ursuline Academy and Medina Highland both shot 639, with Ursuline winning the tiebreaker for third place.
