The Varsity teams made the 3 hour drive to Fresno, where they competed in the Clovis Invitational on Saturday, Oct 9th. 110 teams, and over 2,000 runners participated in this classic meet, which is considered a tune-up for the CIF XC State Meet held on the same course, in late November.
Led by Chris Simpson's 6th place overall finish, and Clinton McAdam's 21st place, the varsity boys finished 11th out of 36 teams that toed the starting line. Patrick Gandolfo was 3rd for the Stangs, while Soph sensation Danny Bartz continues to improve, coming in 4th. Keith Romosor just held off Alex Anderson and Bhavik Kanzaria for the 5th spot. Overall, the team ran a full minute faster than the 2004 squad did.
On the girls side, Daniela Gergley continued her streak of medal placing performances, finishing 18th overall in the Large School varsity race. This helped the squad take 19th out of 37 teams that fielded runners. Running her best race of the season, Senior Jamie Callahan came in second in a solid time of 22:46 for the 5K course. Renee Lau was only 4 places behind Jamie, in the 3rd place. Juniors Katie Rabago and Claire Hoppens rounded out the scoring, with Lauren Ho and Tia Pressler close behind.
Varsity alternates Kristen Hines and Luke Hatton did not get to sit back and relax. They also ran the full 3.1 mile course, in the JV races, as solo runners. The MV team spread out and cheered for both of them, helping fuel solid performances. Kristen was in the top 100, finishing 91st, while Luke ran a solid race, breaking 19 minutes and taking 47th overall.
But... Clovis is not just about the running, as the team enjoyed the now traditional events like: hip/hop dancing in the coaches car, "the" Chili's in Fresno, the Piccadilly Inn, and the In-N-Out burger madness after the race. Certainly a great time was had by the entire squad that made the trip.
Special thanks to Wendy McAdams and Christine Simpson for helping to drive the team down. And Coach Davis' wife Karla for the goodie bags (with the eye patches)!
Clovis 2006? Who will make the trip?
