Distance led the way on Saturday for CSUS in first place finishes, winning 3 events and scoring plenty of top finishers as well.
First was a mob of Lady Warriors competing in the 1500. April won the race overall in 4:51, and the Bear-Killer Twins finished 3rd and 4th in a mad dash to the finish in 4:57. Clarissa Rivera was 7th, followed by Andrea, Linds V, Cat, and Danielle making a literal Red Sea of Warriors in the race.
In the men's 1500, Joey gave further riddling to the question of whether he's a miler or a 5k'er, winning the men's race in 4:01, and demonstrating a slight kick to actually pass people with 200 to go. He outkicked a Hogwarts runner, which was very exciting to watch. Senor Marteen was next for the fellas in 4:03, followed by Shane and Palmer in 4:11 and 4:13, all pr's or pr ties. Great race dudes.
Jose Morales got screwed.
A little while later was the 800, Rubye was just a second off her pr, running a 2:18 after a tough 1500 just hours before. Impressive Klondike, running Alaskan tough.
In the men's 8, Terrance finally won a heat, passing half the field in the last 200, but clocking in a 2:01 after a slow first lap. Coach Taylor, get your clippers. Martin Ramos was the fastest Warrior, showing his old mid-distance passion by running a 1:59, good enough for 7th overall in a very fast heat. Joey was next in 2:03, then Palmer in 2:05, followed by Shane in 2:07. A great speed workout for these longer distance dudes.
Shortly thereafter, Yukon Foldager returned to her SHS glory days and ran the 400 hurdles. Not often do you get a cross-country runner to actually compete in the intermediates, but Yukon is one tough Athabaskan. She clocked in a 68, a good time for a distance runner with no quarter mile workouts. Look for her to score at conference in this event.
For the 5k, Lindsay Garcia and Rachel Ochs ran excellent races, finishing in 20:29 and 21:48. Lindsay was 4th overall in a very spread out race. For the men's 5k, Eric and Dawson did all the work, leading from the front at the get-go, and trying to shake a couple of JC leeches. Dawson crossed first in 15:28, and Eric in 15:32, both huge pr's and impressive first on the track 5ks.
