TVL # 2

Yesterday (9/24/14) was the second meeting this season for the TVL schools. Just as I said after the first MMC race...there is a reason why they actually run these races. Sometimes the results are simply shocking! More on that in a minute...

Ruvalcaba and Garcia

First I'll discuss the VG results. Kim Ruvalcaba (Riverbank) and Sabrina Garcia (Riverbank) went out hard and separated themselves from Ellie Waters (Ripon) and the rest of the runners. Waters made up ground on Garcia over the final mile, but she couldn't close the entire gap. On the team front, predictably it was all RBK.

3. Ellie Waters (Ripon) 20:39
4. Nora Nash (Escalon) 21:29
5. Madison Mays (Hughson) 21:41
6. Haley Richardson (Riverbank) 22:00
7. Kayla Jacklich (Ripon) 22:29
8. Megan Warwick (Modesto Christian) 22:30
9. Joslyn Beliera (Riverbank) 22:40
10. Niclole Warwick (Modesto Christian) 22:48
11. Sierra Hernandez (Escalon) 22:55
12. Marisol Aguayo (Escalon) 23:01
13. Stephanie Bernal (Riverbank) 23:24
14. Leone Rivers (Escalon) 23:43
15. Taylor Gray (Hughson) 23:43

The individual completion was a 3 man race between Alex Norling (Ripon), Adan Chavez (Riverbank), and Daniel Yanez (Hughson). For over 2 miles the three were stride for stride. Chavez and Norling broke from Yanez, and then Norling broke from Chavez. Chavez made a hard push to catch Noorling but fell just short. As I mentioned, the boys' team results were shocking! After crushing the competition in TVL 1, Riverbank seemed like a lock to cruise through the season. A fluke injury to Emmanuel Chavez left them vulnerable and Hughson, with the return of Austin Zehr, jumped at the opportunity. Once the dust literally settled it was Hughson on the winning side of the 40 to 43 final score...AGAIN WOW!

15. Kendall Camp (Riverbank) 19:19

Interestingly if the meet was scored as a dual meet Hughson still would have won 27-28. If it was judged on total time RBK would have edged out the Huskies 91:43 to 92:07. Needless to say it was a close competition.
