For the first time this season the Knights had an opportunity to run in their correct divisions and see if the long, hot summer workouts would pay off in fast times.
The F/S Girls were first up on the course. They ran well up front with a strong foursome (Destiny, Jamie, Erin, and Victoria). If one less runner had been pull up to varsity they would and won the meet.
4. Destiny Georgopoilis 15:38
5. Jamie Becerra 15:39
7. Erin Redding 16:03
8. Victoria Meyer Zur Heyde 16:08
25. Celene Talavera 17:35
32. Daniella Esparza 19:03
36. Gabriela Trejo 20:14
37. Lliana Ambriz 20:32
On the team front it appears that the Downey girls finished second, losing to MoHi 25 to 32
The F/S Boys were next up. They barely field a 5-member scoring team. The top runner, Jose Torres, is a bit "green" and demonstrated this by going out too fast. He definitely suffered through the second loop of the course.
11. Jose Torres 12:44
21. Tanner Walsh 13:19
36. Alejandro Lemus 14:13
47. Conner Hannon 15:25
73. Jim Sok 25:25
The Varsity Girls hit the course with tons of experience, talent, and high hopes of an MMC title. Rocio ran a solid race up front, and there were some strong efforts behind her; but MoHi also came to compete and wasn't going to hand over the crown.
7. Rocio Ramirez-Castro 21:27
8. Sierra Durham 21:36
12. Natalie Franco 22:00
14. Rory Jiminez 22:21
17. Haylee Osgood 22:40
22. Maddeleine Souza 23:09
23. Alicia Bargas 23:13
32. Anna Casas 23:30
38. Esther Limon 24:49
41. Karina Redding 25:02
45. Carolyn Fraze 25:31
50. Deja Martin 26:27
60. Adriana Lopez 27:43
68. Krista Rocha 28:03
74. Adriana Coggins 29:21
77. Rebecca Donis 30:14
79. Vanessa Marin 30:40
83. Alex Elwood 30:59
SO CLOSE...the Lady Knights lose to MoHi 26 to 29 to place second. Anna had a sub-par effort that might have been the difference, we'll never know. 3 little points! Haylee runs her first meet on the three loop course. By way of comparison her time of 20:40 is EXACTLY what Sierra ran on the same course in her initial effort as a 9th grader. Sierra would eventually chop off two more minutes to run 20:40 that year. If Haylee can do that too, we may be taking home some hardware at the end of the season.
The Varsity Boys took to the course last. Andrew Osgood ran a solid race to finish second. Guadalupe and newcomer Will Music provided some solid support, but there was just too big of a gap back to the #4 and #5 runners to be competitive with the immensely deep Gregori and MoHi squads.
2. Andrew Osgood 17:26
10. Guadalupe Torres 18:08 (a 2 sec PR and #8 all-time for Downey)
11. Will Music 18:14 (#9 all-time for Downey)
22. Jake Crenshaw 18:59
24. Emmanuel Georgopoulis 19:06
25. Danny Mauricio 19:07
30. Fernando Garibay 19:20
31. Alfonso Urbano 19:21
34. Pierson Devers 19:29
36. Gerson Zuniga 19:32
39. Justin Goering 19:37
42. Saul Zigala 20:00
47. Tyler Bingham 20:18
52. Francisco Solorzano 20:43
53. Donald Connacher 20:44
62. Jose Gonzales 21:01
79. Tyler Azevedo 22:21
80. Alec Carson 22:25
85. Jerel Constantio 23:26
86. Oscar Cortes 23:26
95. Cristian Lopez 23:55
99. Frank Heyward 24:54
The boys would finish in third behind the up front battle between MoHi and Gregori (MoHi beat Gregori 27 to 28).
