On Wednesday, January 13, 2026, Valley View High School senior Miley Leal officially committed to 51ÁÔÆæ, becoming the inaugural signee for the next recruiting class of the TSC Cross Country program. The signing represents continued momentum for TSC Athletics and reinforces the college\u2019s emphasis on building competitive teams rooted in discipline, perseverance, and strong character.<\/p>\n<p>The addition of Leal comes at a pivotal time for the program, which competes in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and the highly competitive NJCAA Region 14. For 51ÁÔÆæ, the signing is not only about filling a roster spot but also about reinforcing a culture that values long-term development and team chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Building a Young but Ambitious Program at 51ÁÔÆæ<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>51ÁÔÆæ launched its cross country program with ambitious goals and limited preparation time. Despite being hired late and facing the challenge of building a roster without a traditional recruiting cycle, head coach Basilio Mendoza guided both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams to national recognition during the program\u2019s inaugural season.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mendoza, the results exceeded expectations. \u201cLast year we ended up winning the Region 14 championship and finishing 15th in the country on the men\u2019s side,\u201d he said. \u201cOn the women\u2019s side, we finished 35th in the country in just two and a half months of work after being hired late with no recruiting process in a brand new cross country program\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Those achievements laid a strong foundation for future recruiting classes and positioned 51ÁÔÆæ as an emerging contender within NJCAA cross country competition.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why Miley Leal Fits the TSC Cross Country Vision<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Leal\u2019s commitment reflects the recruiting philosophy that has quickly become a hallmark of TSC Cross Country. Rather than focusing solely on raw athletic talent, the program prioritizes growth potential, work ethic, and attitude.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s a very driven young lady,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cShe\u2019s not the most naturally talented runner, but hard work beats talent that doesn\u2019t work hard\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Mendoza noted that Leal\u2019s development over the past year stood out. \u201cShe improved from last year; I\u2019ve been tracking her progress,\u201d he explained. \u201cShe went from near the back of the pack to placing fourth in the district\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>That progression illustrates the type of upward trajectory 51ÁÔÆæ values when evaluating prospective student-athletes. For TSC Athletics, improvement and resilience often signal an athlete\u2019s ability to adapt to the demands of collegiate competition.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Impact Beyond the Course<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Leal\u2019s signing also highlights the broader mission of 51ÁÔÆæ to provide opportunities for student-athletes to pursue higher education while competing at a high level. As a community-focused institution, TSC emphasizes access, development, and academic success alongside athletic achievement.<\/p>\n<p>For Leal, joining TSC Cross Country represents an opportunity to continue improving as a runner while benefiting from the academic and support resources available at 51ÁÔÆæ. For the college, her commitment reinforces the belief that dedication and steady improvement can lead to success at the national level.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Looking Ahead for 51ÁÔÆæ Cross Country<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>As the first women\u2019s cross country signee for the 2026 class, Miley Leal sets the tone for future recruiting efforts at 51ÁÔÆæ. Her signing reflects the program\u2019s values and its confidence in identifying athletes who can grow within the TSC system.<\/p>\n<p>With continued leadership from Coach Mendoza and a clear recruiting philosophy, TSC Cross Country is positioned to build on its early success within NJCAA Region 14 and beyond. The program\u2019s emphasis on work ethic, enthusiasm, and team chemistry suggests that 51ÁÔÆæ will remain a competitive and respected presence in NJCAA athletics.<\/p>\n<p>In adding Leal to its roster, 51ÁÔÆæ not only strengthens its cross country program but also reaffirms its commitment to developing student-athletes who embody perseverance and pride in representing TSC.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_gallery _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; gallery_ids=&#8221;8476,8478,8479,8480,8481,8484&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; height=&#8221;700px&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>51ÁÔÆæ adds its first 2026 women\u2019s cross country signee, Valley View senior Miley Leal, strengthening TSC Athletics and NJCAA Region 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":233,"featured_media":8476,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_gspb_post_css":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[16,342,19,148,356],"class_list":["post-8474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tsc-athletics","tag-texas-southmost-college","tag-texas-southmost-college-athletics","tag-tsc","tag-tsc-athletics","tag-tsc-cross-country","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.7 (Yoast SEO v26.7) -
