2025 WEEK 6 Runners of the Week

A busy week with 3 leagues competing in Clusters and a number of invitationals.

EMMA-LYNN HOGAN (Central Catholic)--placed 3rd at VOL 2 in a 3mi time 19:06

TYLEAH BADEA (Beyer)--placed 2nd at WAC 2 in a 5K time of 19:54.6 and lead the Patriots to the team victory

WESTON MC GHEE (Oakdale)--at VOL 2 he ran 16:19.4 for 3mi to place 3rd and help the Mustangs to the team win

GUSTAVO ORTIZ (Riverbank)--placed 1st at MLL 2 to lead the Bruins with a 5K time of 16:40.7

2025 WEEK 6 (WAC 2; MLL 2; VOL 2; Bulldog; Amanda Garcia; Artichoke)

A busy week indeed with three leagues running clusters and some pretty serious invites.

WED 10/1 WAC 2 @ River Bluff Park, Ceres

The competing StanCo teams were Ceres, Central Valley, Beyer, Grace Davis, and Johansen. Beyer continues to plow through WAC competition in both the boys and the girls sides. It also appear that they may have fleshed out their top 5 on both sides too. For the girls Beyer's #2 didn't run and their #3 Mejia Hidalgo has yet to run a hard race this season. Clovis Inv will tell the tale of if Beyer can succeed beyond the weak WAC. The races were 5K.

WED 10/1 MLL 2 @ East LaLoma Park, Modesto

The competing StanCo teams were Riverbank and Big Valley. The MLL competes as a series of dual competition taking place in what looks like a cluster meet format. So, for instance, Riverbank was only really competing against Summerville and Bret Harte yesterday. I have provided the invitational scoring BUT those scores have no meaning in MLL standings. Riverbank continues to move through MLL competition with their strong up front running. The races were a flat 5K.

WED 10/1 VOL 2 @ Mistlin Park, Ripon

The competing StanCo teams were Patterson, Oakdale, and Central Catholic. Oakdale continues to roll through a weakened VOL. The fact that only 3 schools could assemble a VG team and only 4 put together a VB team is telling about the conditions of local (not just VOL) XC.

2025 WEEK 5 Runners of the Week

There wasn't a lot of action this week but there still were some admirable performances.

NOELI GOMEZ OROZCO (Hughson)--placed 3rd at TVL 2 in 20:31 to help seal the TVL team championship for the Huskies.

QUINN BACA (Oakdale)--placed 6th at Golden Eagle Invitational in a 5K time of 16:55.76 to lead the Mustangs to second place in the small school division. Maybe more importantly as his teammates seem to go up and down with each race he has been the most consistently good.

2025 Week 5 (SAL 2; TVL 2; Golden Eagle; Thunder Inv)

A lighter recovery week for many of the teams, but a few teams dipped their toes into the Woodward Park pool at the Golden Eagle Inv.

WED 9/24 SAL 2 @ River Bluff in Ceres

The competing StanCo teams were Waterford and Denair. Eventhough there are seven teams in this league, only 4 field XC teams; and the meets have basically become dual meets between Delhi and Denair. The varsity races were 5K.

2025 WEEK 4 Runners of the Week

There were some amazing performances and some that were phoned in which made the selection somewhat difficult for me. In the end if you think I over looked you this week keep doing what you are doing and you'll likely get that coveted recognition sooner or later.

JYMENA NGUYEN MARQUEZ (Grace Davis)--won the large school division at Frogtown in a 3mi time of 19:26.3

GISELLE FERNANDEZ (Riverbank)--won MLL 1 in a 3mi time of 19:19.02 running alone on a 100 degree day. Then doubled back to place 37th in the most elite race at Woodbridge to run 16:50.2 for the 3mi circuit.

ADDISON WYLIE (Oakdale)--won the SS VG race at Frogtown in 19:04 for 3 mi to lead her team to the title. She placed 3rd at VOL 1 in 19:08 for 3mi also helping Oadale take the win.

SEAN MUTURI (Oakdale)--was the fastest varsity finisher at Frogtown in a 3mi time of 16:05.

MITCHELL BENNING (Oakdale)--ran 17:15 at VOL 1 for 3mi to be Oakdale's first finisher leading them to the important VOL victory. His time was a 1:15 sec improvement over the same meet last year.

OTHERS I CONSIDERED

LIZ CHRISTOPHER (Turlock) improved by over a min at CCAL 1 from her time the year before to place 7th

LUKE OLIVEIRA (Turlock) placed 7th at CCAL 1 in a time that was over a min faster than the same meet the year before

LARSON WEJMAR ran 15:07 to place 11th at Woodbridge to lead his team to a second place finish

QUINN BACA (Oakdale) turned in solid performances at both VOL 1 and Frogtown to help his team to both wins

EMMANUEL JUAREGI (Central Catholic) ran 17:14 to place 2nd at VOL 1, last year at the same meet he ran 19:19 and was 31st.

2025 XC 1st RANKINGS

Reporting results from meets is easy. Making predictions or ranking teams that haven't really competed against each other is very difficult. I might be the only person that has actually seen all of these teams and runners, but this is not an exact science. As always if you disagree with me use it to fuel your future performances...show me that I am wrong...leave a comment and tell me all about it.

GIRLS

SOME OF MY THOUGHTS: Arriaza is undefeated against local competition. She powered her team to the win at Screamin Scott, and was the top local finisher at Kim Duyst ahead of Benham, Nguyen and Wylie. Carlson beat Williams and Hernandez at CCAL 1, but they were not going all out. Fernandez edged Williams at Woodbridge BUT Williams was alone in her race and Fernandez wasn't. I think if Williams had been pushed, the result would have been flipped. Hernandez is improving fast and everyone above her better check their rear view mirrors. Wylie beat Nguyen at Frogtown (Nguyen beat her at Kim Duyst). Benham didn't run all out at Frogtown but beat Nguyen and Wylie at Kim Duyst.

9. Gisela Hernandez (Turlock)

10. Anahi Ruiz Velasco (Beyer)

GIRLS TEAMS

SOME OF MY THOUGHTS: Oakdale may be losing there #2 girl. Turlock's #3 is dealing with and injury and they are searching for a #5. Beyer's girls are very young and still developing and untested and they definitely need a #5. Hughson has lost one of their top 5 for the season, and Patterson needs a 5th...so none of these teams is without issue(s). I have seen them all run. Patterson beat Beyer and Hughson at Screamin Scott but that was a 4 person relay. Oakdale beat Patterson at VOL 1. Hughson beat Oakdale at Kim Duyst but the Mustangs #2 girl didn't finish.

BOYS

SOME OF MY THOUGHTS: The Beyer boys won Screamin Scott with this foursome, they mostly jogged through WAC 1, and then had a month without racing. We really won't know how they all stack against each other until Clovis Inv and Roughrider both at Woodward within 6 days of each other. Then we (I) can really compare. Terry set the course record in WAC 1, so he isn't playing this season. Wejmar jogged CCAL 1 and still won edging Hamilton and Avalos. Then Wejmar ran faster than Avalos, Hamilton, Petty, and Garcia at Woodbridge. Muturi was fastest at Kim Duyst and Frogtown. Most of this is based on my gut and my eyes....as head to head comparisons have been scarce.

10. Porter Petty (Turlock)

11. Quinn Baca (Oakdale)

12. Armando Garcia (Riverbank)

BOYS TEAMS

SOME OF MY THOUGHTS: Beyer's top 4 is rockin', they are interviewing for a fifth. With the addition of Porter Petty, Turlock's top 5 is gelling and maybe should be #1.... Oakdale has been all over the place. Muturi is killing the big meets. They won Frogtown missing two of the top 5. Hughson edged Oakdale at Kim Duyst BUT #3 runner dropped 30 places over final mile (not sure what that was about) but I am not convinced the Huskies at full strength beat the Mustangs at full strength...yet. Pitman has some solid dudes that are under achieving. They beat Modesto at CCAL 1 to earn this spot. Hopefully by the end of the season they will find their stride.

2025 XC Week 4 (CCC 1; CCAL 1; VOL 1; MLL 1; Woodbridge; Frogtown)

This was a busy week with 4 leagues meeting for the first time. Additionally Frogtown is always a full day for me with half of the StanCo schools competing. Woodbridge is perhaps the most elite XC meet in the country producing crazy fast times and fierce competition.

TUE 9/16 CCC 1 @ Golden Valley HS, Merced

There were no competing StanCo schools, but they are all MerCo schools. Now that I am retired I will be expanding my coverage area a bit to sometimes include these schools too since they are also eligible for my scholarships in the Spring. The varsity races were 5K

WED 9/17 CCAL 1 @ TRRP, Modesto

The competing StanCo teams were Turlock, Pitman, Modesto, Downey, Enochs, and Gregori. I found this meet to be disappointing. Turlock coasted because they were going to Woodbridge (I get it but it is disappointing to watch). Downey kept out their best boy for the same reason. The extreme heat definitely was a big factor. I would normally consider 16:30 (for a boy) and sub 20:00 (for a girl) to be a top mark. Well you can see the results. I am hopeful that as the season progresses so will the competitiveness. The varsity races were 5K.

RESULTS

WED 9/17 MLL 1 @ Frogtown, Angels Camp

The competing StanCo teams were Riverbank and Big Valley. Like the other Wednesday meets, I am sure that heat was a big factor. Unlike the other meets, MLL runners had to contend with the hills and dust also. Summerville VBs knocking off Riverbank was the big story here. The varsity races were 3mi.

RESULTS

FRI/SAT 9/19 and 9/20 Woodbridge @ Great Park, Irvine

The competing StanCo teams were Turlock, Downey, and Riverbank. These races are all 3 miles (that what it is billed as anyway) and it is lightning fast. For most runners it will be their HS best ever time. I have added a few times from NonStanCo (but locally known) runners for added comparison. The "color names" on the races are supposed to align with divisions...but Turlock was in "red" which says D3 and Downey and Hilmar were in "Gold" which say D2, but Downey is D1 and Hilmar is D4...Turlock is D1 so the color matching with division is suspect. Never-the-less the course was the same for everyone regardless of day, race, color, or division so the times are directly comparable.

RESULTS

SAT 9/20 Bret Harte/Frogtown Inv @ Calaveras County Fairgrounds, Angels Camp

The competing StanCo teams were Central Catholic, Ceres, Central Valley, Pitman, Grace Davis, Hughson, Johansen, Oakdale, Orestimba, Turlock Christian, Vanguard, Waterford. The varsity races were 3mi. The participation in this meet continues to decline. Well there were 80 odd teams BUT the heavy hitters in the SJS were mostly missing...case in point Oakdale won the SS VG with there #2 girl again not finishing the race. There is likely a health issue there the supercedes the importance of any race. For the SSVB Oakdale won again with out at least two of their top 5 runners for unknown (to me, well I didn' ask) reasons. Hughson pulled everyone back and used the meet like a workout, so don't use this meet to underestimate what they are capable of doing. Pitman's girls were missing there #1 (for the second meet this season) who likely would have beaten Nguyen Marquez for the LSVG crown. Pitman's boys continue to be an enigma to me as there cumulative talent doesn't seem to match their race times/performances...the season is still young.
