SIERRA INVITATIONAL--LEGION PARK

The bulk of the Downey runners PRed today. There were over 1200 runners representing 37 schools. The course was fast and the weather was perfect.

The F/S boys started off the day. Guadalupe led the way, finishing 24th and scoring the biggest PR of the day (2:36) over his intrasquad time a few weeks ago. Andrew Heltne also scored a huge PR (2:23). As a team they placed 16th out of 20 teams. There were 233 runners.

We had no girls competing in the F/S race. They all either ran VG or JV.

The VB were up next. The newby Pierson (19:53, 83rd) beat the veterens Kenji (19:59, 88th) and Ernesto (20:13, 96th). As a team they were 20th overall and 8th for the large schools. If Osgood had been able to run they likely would have place 13th overall (and second among Stanislaus County schools). There were 208 runners.

The VG had a strong showing especially considering the team is comprised of 3 sophs and 5 frosh only one of whom has any experience at the 5k distance. Sierra led the way (12th, 21:20) finishing (3rd for the county) just out of the awards. Rocio also had a solid placing (44th, 23:08). The next four girls (Karina, Natalie, Katie, and Rory) were tightly packed for much of the race and finished with in ten palces (77th-87th) and 28 seconds (24:13-24:41) of each other. It was fun to watch them sprint at the end of the race for the team bragging rights. As a team they finished 10th overall with 255 pts and 6th for the large schools. They were the 4th team for Stanislaus County. there were 179 runners.

The coed JV race completed the day. We had no boys in this race. Yaneli led the group finishing 70th overall (15:30). She place for the girls and would be the only Downey award winner of the day. She will runner the varsity 3mi on Wednesday and looks like a real contender to break into our block of young female talent. Araceli, Aly, and Jacqueline all had huge PRs over their intrasquad times. There were 135 runners

Great job knights. Our next race is the MMC Cluster Meet #1 at Gregori this Wednesday.
