SJS SECTION RESULTS

Sierra ran in her first SJS championship today and experienced some awesome competition. The plan was for her to get out stronger and faster than she did in last week's sub-section meet and then hang on. She did get out faster, but everyone else must have had the same plan, because she was in about 50th after 800 meters. She moved up a few spots and then seemed to settle in. She would eventually move up to about 40th but was passed by several runners in the final stretch. She finished a tough 43rd place. Her time of 21:02 (5K) cut 24 seconds off of her Bronco time from 3 weeks ago over the same course. To give you a better idea of the level of this year's competition level--her time would have placed her 22nd in last year's SJS meet.

Much thanks to Coach Garrett, Rocio and Katie for making the trip to Folsom to cheer her on.

SAC-JOAQUIN SECTION MEET

And then there was one. Sierra is the last Downey Knight still competing. Her 30th place finish at last Saturday's Sub-section meet qualified her for this week's section championships at Willow Hills in Folsom. She has been steadily improving all season but will need to put aside her fears and really go for it in order to earn a medal in the section meet. GOOD LUCK NUGGET!
