A. They both spent Friday night in Fresno, CA. FACT.
So, besides a little high pitched shrieking, the Pumas got in some great racing at Clovis this weekend! This was an opportunity to get some experience on the Woodward Park course used for the State championships - so the whole weekend was a sort of low-key rehearsal for what we hope to be doing in late November. Besides that, we had some fun too.
Highlights:
Boys Varsity placed a competitive 7th place in a field of 29 very strong teams from around the State. Ryan "%$&'@#$!" Anderson took 6th place in a time of 16:00 - this is the fastest time ever recorded by a Maria Carrillo boy on this course (including State meet results - WOW!). Here's the new top 6:
1. Ryan Anderson, 16:00, 2012
2. Steve Laurie, 16:05, 1998
3. Nate Huckaba, 16:11, 2007
4. Jordan Kinley, 16:12, 1999
4. Calvin Thigpen, 16:12, 2006
6. Daniel Hauptman, 16:15, 2010
Frosh-Soph Boys had an excellent showing with a 3rd place finish in a competitive field. They were led by Zac West's 4th place in 17:15.
Girls Varsity placed 3rd in their race paced by Andrea Natoli, Shaz Breedlove, and Shannon Palladino. The F/S Girls posted some very strong times, led by Cecilia Avelar's 20:35 and Shawn Cichosz in 20:37. Between the Varsity and F/S races, the girls posted 11 marks that translate to faster than 21:00 at Spring Lake.
