WEEK 4 (TVL Relays; Bella Vista Bronco; County Clash)

With the MMC (Modesto) schools on Spring Break this week the action was both limited and significant. For me there were 3 major meets this week: the TVL Relays, The Bella Vista Bronco Distance Carnival, and the County Clash. The only one of these that I was able to attend was the TVL Relays.

3/21/17   TVL RELAYS, Ripon HS, Ripon
The competing StanCo schools were Riverbank and Hughson

I attended this mostly relay meet. Hughson ran most of their top runners, Riverbank ran a few of their kids. There are no official results (or very limited). Enjoy the photos.

RESULTS

3/24/17 COUNTY CLASH, Oakdale HS, Oakdale
Noncompeting StanCo distance runners were from Downey, Riverbank and the top male runners from Gregori.
I have said many times that if the top distance runners of all the competing schools stayed home and ran at County Clash, the competition would be extremely strong...Adding the SJ County schools to the mix added to strength. If you still don't agree with that logic, instead of Bronco, teams could run at Dublin the previous week. Dublin's competition was stronger than BV this year. If Westin Ranch, Lodi, Tokay, Buhach Colony, Downey, RBK, and Gregori had all run their top kids, I think the marks achieved would have been comparable (especially since Merced choose to come to County Clash this year). I know some of the coaches don't agree with my reasoning...but hey I'll keep pushing to promote local running and runners. Okay, I'll come down from my soapbox now...
