The F/S girls were first up on the course. They had had little time to warm up and really struggled in the cold temperatures. Alicia Bargas was the first Knight to finish. She was 63rd (16:00). Erin Redding finished 82nd (16:53) and barely nosed out a hard charging Carolyn Frazein 85th (16:58). Deja Martin injured her leg and limpped across the line in 98th (17:14). Completing the scoring was Eleni Quick in 118th (18:00). As a team they finished in 11th place with 318 points.
The soph boys took the course next. Danny Maurico and Alfonso Urbano had been moved down from the varsity team to compete along side the three frosh boys. The first Knight was Justin Goering who placed 31st (12:44) and grabbed one of the ten individual qualifying spots for next week's section championships. Close behind him were Alfonso in 44th (13:01) and Danny in 47th (13:03). Connor Hannon, 63rd (13:24); Tanner Walsh 73rd (13:42); and Gerson Zuniga, 99th (14:35) rounded out the Downey soph runners.
The varsity girls came into the race with hopes of sneaking into the top ten and qualifying as a team for next week's meet. They started slowly but in solid position, moved up on the flat, but really struggled in the hills. Sierra Durham crossed the line first in 43rd (21:09), with Rocio Ramirez-Castro close behind in 44th (21:17). Katie Scheder, running perhaps her best race of the season, placed 59th (22:07); just ahead of Natalie Franco in 68th (22:24). Rounding out the scoring was Madeleinne Souza, who was experiencing this course for the first time. She placed 77th (22:59). The last Downey finisher was Anna Casas in 87th (23:32). The bad news came when saw the results and realized that they finished outside the money in 11th place with 267. Since the team didn't qualify Sierra and Rocio qualified as individuals.
The varsity boys took the course last. Andrew Osgood ran in good position (top 5-10) most of the race. He eventually would fade over the last mile to 17th (16:58). The next Knight was Guadalupe Torres in 61st (18:24). Rounding out the top five were Pierson Devers in 80th (19:26); Juan Carlos Cruz in 94th (20:10); and Kenji Soares in 99th (20:32). When all was said and done the boys tied for 10th place with 315 points. The top ten teams moved on. The tie breaker is the sixth runner. Our sixth runner was David O'Bryan in 109th (21:03). The other teams 6th runner was 108th, so they earned the 10th team spot. That meant that Andrew and Guadalupe would get individual qualifying spots.
