It was an excellent weekend of racing at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco as the Warriors represented Stanislaus well at the 2009 West Regional Meet.
For the Women, Denali Foldager was 25th overall, once again proving that she can run with the best in the West. She was followed by Rubye, Chelsea, Mary, Alyssa, Lindsay and Andrea. The women finished in the 12th spot as a team, scoring 306 points. They were 7 points away from 9th place in an incredibly close finish as follows:
9. BYUH: 300
10. WOU: 303
11: Humboldt: 304
12. Stanislaus: 306
I've certainly never seen a big race finish that close, especially for those coveted top-10 spots. The women fought hard and showed what they were made of though.
For the men, the Warriors placed two in the top 25. Senior Joey Nunes went out with a bang, finishing 23rd overall in a time of 32:23. He was directly followed by Dawson Vorderbruegge in 24th place, 32:26. These two roommates have been training together and beating up on each other for the past two years, and it was finally nice to see them finish together and work off of one another, especially at such a large race.
Shane Brookshire was next for the Warriors, finishing in the 54th spot, a placing pr at his 4th Regional meet. Ivan Bojorquez with Freshman Kanwar Dhaliwal, both of them placing 73rd and 79th. Good races for both of these men as Ivan has suffered from some minor injuries of late, and Kanwar was in high school 6 short months ago. Tyler and Palmer Thiele also ran hard for the Warriors, bringing in the 6th and 7th spots.
Congratulations to the men and women from WWU, Anchorage, and Chico, as well as the Seattle Pacific women on qualifying for Natinals. Good luck in Indiana, rep the Left Coast well.
