WEEK 5--RUNNERS OF THE WEEK

This week has been a busy one. We ended last week with the draining all-day venture to Frogtown. At mid-week we suffered through a very hot day and the MMC cluster meet #2. Then some of the team traveled to Stockton for the Pacific Tiger Invitational to close out the week. Given all of this there were some superior performances and perhaps the most difficult decesion yet for the Runners of the Week.

RORY JIMENEZ--had a great week. She placed 19th overall at Wednesday's MMC cluster meet. She was Downey's 5th finisher. She is currently the third frosh girl in the league. She PRed by 0:21. She also placed 28th at the Pacific Tiger Invitational. She was the 4th frosh finisher in the varsity race. Rory is juggling both band and cross-country. She has a strong work ethic.

PIERSON DEVERS--also had a huge week. He placed 12th (second for TDHS) in the varsity division at the MMC cluster meet. He PRed in that meet by 1:03. He also placed 27th in the varsity race at the Pacific Tiger Invitational in Stockton. Pierson has brought both humor and strength to the varsity boys team.
