WEEK 5--Runners of the Week

Week 5 found the Knights competing against the rest of the MMC for the second time this year. There were many great performances and I'm sure that the coaches had a difficult time selecting the Runners of the Week.

JENNIFER HERNANDEZ--placed 39th (9th for Downey) in MMC Cluster #2. She improved her 3mi time about 1:20 in the past two weeks. She work incredible hard every day and for a track sprinter she is showing some real chopps for distance running.

ALFONSO URBANO--place 19th in the most recent Cluster Meet (3rd for Downey). Coach Ipp says, "came in as one of Downey's top 3 for our 2nd MMC Meet. He improved his 3-mile time by nearly 2 minutes from the beginning of September, coming in at 19:12!" Alfonso filled in for an ailing Pierson. His performance allowed Downey to maintain its third place position in the league standings.
