CCAA Results

After a soppy weekend in 50 degree rain, wind, and cold, the Warriors were glad to be home after a successful trip to Chico. The men placed 4th overall, 15 points behind Pomona for 3rd. The women were 4th.

April Montgomery won the 800 in a close battle, edging out a Chico runner by .04 seconds. It was super close race, but April caught her right at the line for the Championship. Also in the 800 , Rubye ran a great race and came in 6th in 2:21. Marissa ran well in prelims, but was the first woman not to make it into a very competitive finals field.

In the women's 1500, Denali made finals with a big pr of 4:47 in prelims. In the finals, she ran a a great race, very competitive, and finished 10th in 4:56. Cat and Chelsea both ran well in the prelims, clocking 5:22 and 5:23.

In the men's 1500, Joey Nunes went out hard (a 2:04 for the first half, a little quick Joey!) and ended up in 5th with a time of 4:00.6. Dawson kicked it in the last 400 to claim 8th and score a point with a new pr of 4:01, and Eric struggled after taking an early lead and contending. It's all good though, he ran the race like he wanted too. Eric finished in 9th in 4:06.

In the Steeplechase, Martin was in excellent postition, but took a nasty fall on the last water jump. A UCSD runner ahead of him ate it on the barrier, and Martin was at the mercy of the barrier, with nowhere to go since this guy was all over the place. He was sitting in 4th, but ended up 5th in 9:33, just seconds off a provisional. Palmer ran smart and hard, and earned a point for CSUS, finishing 8th in a new pr of 10:24.

The men's 5k was the event to watch. In retro gold jerseys and sexy spandex, 4 Warriors toed the line and ran their hardest. Joey Nunes latched onto the lead pack and maintained his position, finishing 2nd overall in a time of 14:59. Joey split Chico's Beau Rogers and Jimmy Elam, and made an awesome statement about CSUS distance. Eric had an incredible race, making a 12 second pr, finishing in 15:20 in 7th place. Dawson was right behind him, kicking it in once again to finish 9th in 15:21. Shane ran hard, clocking a 15:43 less than 22 hours after his debut 10k.

Speaking of 10k, Shane ran the event the night before, and hit a lifetime track pr of 33:49 in the rain and cold. Andrea, Clarissa, and Lindsay Garcia also ran the 10k, and had great races, finishing in 41:55, 42:05, and 43:04.

In the women's 5k, Lindsey V ran a 19:49, and Rachel Ochs was right behind her with a 21:27.

The women's 4x4 featured April, Rubye, and Marissa, and they ran a great race, finishing 6th and picking up some needed points with a time of 4:07.

In all, it was a great meet, and everybody capped off the season with a bang!
