Westmont Cross Country renewed a storied rivalry with Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on Saturday at Chase Palm Park - and they ran a cross country race as well. "(Claremont head coach) John Goldhammer and I started having our teams meet 20 years ago just for a dual meet to start the season," explained Westmont head coach Russell Smelley. "We made it low key and played games together. Then one day we looked at his literature and he was calling it the Nationball Classic. It became that the race was something to do for training and the Nationball game was the event. The pizza was the piece offering afterward." The nationball contest is played in three rounds. First the women verses women, then men verses men. Finally, everybody is all in. This year, Westmont won the women's round before the Claremont men evened the score at one point each. [results]
