WEEK 5 (Patterson v Pacheco Dual, Pacific Tiger Inv)

PATTERSON v PACHECO DUAL (Patterson Sports Complex) 3mi
 The WAC seems to be the only local league still running dual meets (hey WACies why is that?) away with no other big meet this past Wednesday I journeyed out to Patterson to deliver Tomas Virgen's "Runner of the Week"shirt and catch the action as Pacheco visited the Tigers. As with most dual meets the times were slow as the runners spread out along the course and often runners end up mostly alone.

PACIFIC TIGER INVITATIONAL (Elkhorn Country Club) 5K

The only major meet of the week was the Pacific Tiger Invitational. It was at the Elkhorn Country Club and consisted on a 5K circuit that traversed the fairways and fringes of the property. The course was essentially flat and pretty fast. Competing StanCo teams were Beyer, Oakdale, Patterson, Waterford, Denair, and Turlock Christian. There were both Large and Small school races in Varsity, JV, and F/S divisions. 59 different teams competed.

One note is that Oakdale moved all of their F/S girls out of Varsity and into the F/S race where they took 2nd.

VB LG SCHOOL
1. Eliott Portillo (Liberty) 16:16
28. Andrew Anderson (Beyer) 17:27

These results are interesting to me in that Andrew Anderson's time beat the entire Oakdale team. Andrew placed 17th in the last MMC Cluster. Taking those facts into consideration Oakdale would do no better than 4th in the MMC (behind Gregori, Modesto, and Downey). This will be something to keep and eye on as I begin to establish mid-season rankings. To top that off the Mustangs lost once more to VOL rival Weston Ranch.
