Week 2 Action (TVL1, Willow Hills, Thunder 2mi, Early Bird, and WAC Preseason)

TVL 1
First of all, the results I have for this meet are incomplete. In spite of this fact I will try to write up the meet to the best of my ability.

Norling with Adan Chavez and Emmanuel Chavez

For the boys The Adan-Emmanual Chavez (Riverbank) show continues to roll along. They led the pack of RBK boys over what to my eyes looked like a much weaker field of boys than in the most recent past years.

For the girls Kim Ruvalcaba (Riverbank) pulled away from Ellie Waters (Ripon) to lead the tide of Bruin runners. Kim and Sabrina Garcia looked strong. The rest of the RBK team looked not great, but they easily handled the rest of the TVL

WILLOW HILLS
This early season event is an opportunity for your team to tour the section championship course. Coaches may enter athletes in the individual event or in a five-person relay. The non-relay participates have the advantage of competing for position in a pack (like any other race). Whereas the relay runner often are on the course nearly alone--thus their time are somewhat slower. riverbank ran in the individual race and Hughson (boys) ran in the relay.

A couple of things to note here...The time by the Chavez brothers isn't far off of Zach Morrett's (Hughson) section winning time from last year--16:15. They are way ahead of the 17:10 that Zach ran in this same meet last year. Additionally Daniel Yanez in a full minute faster that what he ran at Sections last year.

On the girl's side Sabrina Garcia  (Riverbank) turned in the top local time. She ran 21:14 which is 67 seconds faster than she ran at Sections last year.

RESULTS

THUNDER 2mi
This meet was held at Buhach High School in Atwater. The only StanCo team that competed was Orestimba. The top mark by the Warriors was turned in during the Senior Boy's race by Danny Navarrete who placed 7th in 11:45

EARLY BIRD INV (Salinas)
This is a big early season Central Coast Section meet that Downey ran in this year. The meet is held at Toro Park outside of Salinas and the course is 3mi. Downey was the only StanCo team--and other than Escalon, they were the only Sac Joaquin section team. For and early season meet over and unfamiliar course there were some solid results turned in by some of the Knights.

The top girl's performer was Arielle Names who ran little over the summer but managed an impressive 20:40 which was good for 14th in the Junior Div.. Additionally newcomer/frosh Esmeralda Aguayo placed 21st in the frosh race--a 3mi race is a tough initiation for a freshman.

Arielle Names 20:40
Esmeralda Aguayo 21:26
Erika Martinez 21:38
Makaelyn Bickel 22:04
Esther Limon 22:19
Haylee Osgood 22:26
Meghan Matas 22:54

There are a couple of things to note here...The top 7 Downey runner are all non-seniors, with three being 9th graders. Additionally I would rate this as a way below par effort by Osgood. Hopefully she is running at her full potential soon. This team placed a combined 17th out of the 47 teams. Just the Jr team placed 3rd out of 15.


On the boys side the combined team placed 27th out of 50 teams--middle of the pack so to speak. The top mark was by Inteus Schiavo who placed 9th in the Soph race with a time of 17:07. Interestingly, Justin Goering who is definitely a senior, was entered as a junior and ran in the junior race.
