Andrew was first up on the track in the F/S 3200m. He hung with the lead pack for much of the race and then dug deep to finish in a big PR time of 10:00.35. His 5th place earned him a medal for the effort. His time moved him into #3 all-time on the Downey F/S list.
Sierra was next in the Girls Open 3200m. She ran in the back third of the pack for much of the race before plowing through the wind on her own in an attempt to reach the middle pack. She caught and passed several of those runners to finish in a respectable 12th place. Her time of 11:56.09 was very respectable given the extremely windy conditions.
Later in the afternoon Andrew took to the track again in the F/S 1600m. He ran great for the first two laps hovering in the chase pack just behind the leaders. Somewhere on the third lap the wind and the previous race took its toll. As runners around him made moves and sped up he was unable to respond. He ultimately place 13th with a time of 4:45.73.
