For those Warriors who didn't make it into the highly competitive Cal/Neva Meet, five will be running at the second annual San Francisco State Distance Carnival, hosted by the sport corporation of running Adidas, and Gu. This should be a very high profile meet, as most distance runners in Northern California who didn't qualify for the Stanford Elite Invite meet will be there. Adidas is providing pacers for D-1 Provisionals in the 5k and 10k, so those races will be incredibly fast.
For the men, Shane "Redneck" Brookshire will be running in the blazin' 5k, hoping to break his pr of 15:35. Dawson Vorderbruegge will be running his first race in a month, just coming off heel bruises in the steeple. He'll be competing in the 1500, planning to go sub 4:05 and get back into racing mode. Also in the 1500, post-Warrior Jose Morales is looking to set his all-time pr. Jose is hungry after coming off a close second place finish in the Henry's March 5k last weekend. Jose was 5 seconds behind 2008 Olympic Trial qualifier Miguel Nuci, running a 15:25 in extremely cold and blistery conditions. By the way, Miguel runs for Adidas.
Terrance "Non-Affiliated" Ellis will be running the 800, riding the sub-2 train, and then catching the D-train back to Turlock to win that evening's CSUS Talent Show. Good luck Terrance, and if you must do well at only one thing on Friday, let it be the Talent Show, because you could use the $300 more than a good time in SF.
Clarissa "Taxi Driver" Rivera will be running for the women, lacing up her spikes in the 1500. She's looking to do some dangerous things this season, and this could prove to be her breakout race. Two weeks ago she set a big pr at Davis in the 5k, and people better watch out for this gal.
