Friday's Timed Mile Results

Friday's timed mile allowed the coaches to assess the fitness level of everyone on the team. It will also allow the accurate grouping of athletes with similar abilities. There were some encouraging results for the future of the team, especially with the girls where the top eight finishers were all either frosh or sophs. The boy's team also consists of all (but one) non-senior.

BOYS                                 GIRLS
Andrew--5:09                     Sierra--6:10
Kenji--5:49                         Rocio--6:36
Ernesto--6:04                     Karina--7:07
Nick--6:22                         Katie--7:14
Ryan--6:22                         Natalie--7:17
Seiji--6:28                          Jimena--7:47
Chris--6:40                        Rorie--8:10
Francisco--6:44                 Abby--8:21
Gabe--6:49                        Mai--8:44
Emanuel--6:50                    Ana--8:51

FIRST WEEK OF PRACTICE

After losing every member of the 2009 boy's varsity team, all but two members of the girl's varsity team and both coaches...The 2010 Downey XC team is rising from the ashes.

Tony Ippolito has taken on the head coaching assignment with the support of Steve Garrett and the volunteer parent assistants, Dave Soares and Scott Durham.

There are about 30 runners at practice. The practices have been long, hot, dirty, and sweaty. Amazingly, at the end of the day I still see smiles. It is that special satisfaction that comes from accomplishing something that a week ago you might have thought was impossible. I am especially encouraged by the strong freshman girls turn out. There are some talented and tough young ladies out, and I predict by the end of the season they will be rockin' the league. Hopefully they will stay together for all four years and form the nucleus that helps to rebuild the boy's team too.
