Sac. State Results

Sorry for the late update Warrior fans, but here's the recap of the Sacramento State Hornet Jamboree of Sep. 12, 2009.

The course was fantastic, I was a huge fan. All on dirt, several decent hills, long smooth trails that were wide enough to pass people. Good spectator viewing, well marked miles, good crew and officials, I just can't say enough. Well done Hornets.

The men lined up for a 4 mile alongside the D1 likes of Berkeley, Davis, Sac St, Santa Clara, USF, and Saint Mary's, along with D3 William Jessup. Dawson "Karl Marx" Vorderbruegge was first across the line for the Warriors, finishing in 20:26, good enough for 13th place overall. Joey "Flava Flav" Nunes was next in 20:35, rounding out an impressive top-two for the Warriors, putting 2 in the top 20 at a D1 meet. Shane "Denis the Peasant" Brookshire and Terrance "Rally-Do" Ellis were third and fourth for the Warriors, finishing together in 21:43 and 21:44, good enough for 59th and 60th overall. Ivan and Palmer also crossed consecutively in 22:16 and 22:25, followed by Kanwar Dhaliwal in 23:01.

As a team, the men were 6th of 8, beating out Saint Mary's and William Jessup, and only losing to USF by 30 points.

The women raced a 5k, and Denali "She-Beast" Foldager crossed the line first for the women in 27th place with a time of 18:50, a great time for her. She was followed by Rubye in 19:28, and then Andrea in 19:50. Mary, Chelsea, and Al-Face all finished together consecutively in 20:01, :05, and :07, exhibiting some excellent pack running technique. Lindsay Garcia crossed in 20:24, followed by Elena in 22:11, rounding out the Lady Warrior crew.

Besides the official team, Turlock Elite sent some runners to the meet, and had an impressive showing. Jose Morales, Mosquito Blaylock, Martin Ramos, and Stephen Lenz ran in the men's race, and all helped pace the Warrior men. Marina "Crazy Face" Ghabbour ran unattached in the women's race and helped pull the Lady Warriors to some impressive times.
