2025 WEEK 2/3 Runners of the Week


 
I used the Kim Duyst Meet a my primary criteria for choosing Runners of the Week this go round.
 
Carlson
 AVERY CARLSON (Pitman)--ran 18:06 at Kim Duyst to place 7th in the Invitational Division at Kim Duyst. That time was the 2nd fasted produced by a StanCo lady on the evening.
 
Pimentel
ALESSANDRO PIMENTEL (Hughson)--ran 16:18.4 to place 29th in the Invitational Division  at Kim Duyst. That time was the second fastest over the course by a StanCo runner.
 
Benham
 SOPHIE BENHAM (Hughson)--Sophie placed 17th in the Invitational Division at Kim Duyst in a time of 18:49. That time was the 3rd fastest by a StanCo athlete on the evening.

2025 XC WEEK 3 (WAC 1; Kim Duyst)

Not a very busy week as far as the number of meets; BUT the with the Kim Duyst meet, I think all StanCo schools have finally competed in something. Next week will finish off the first phase of league competition with CCAL, VOL, and MLL all competing on Wednesday.

Before I get into any results I am going to state some facts and opinions. FACT: I walked next to one of the coaches as they wheeled this course and it was 60m short. That equates to 10-15 seconds on the clock. FACT: I am seeing many coaches saying that this runner set a new school record, or we set a new team record using the times from Saturday's meet. FACT: 5 runners times 10-15 secs short means you need to add about a minute to that team time...is it still a school record? OPINION: this is why I wouldn't use some random course (that may or may not be accurate) to determine such things. I would use only historic courses that your team runs every year (that don't change, this course has changed slightly every year) to make comparisons...and I would only make them against that course and not for the distance. Such as " ...she set a new school record for the Woodward Park 5K course."   If you disagree, I'll gladly listen to your side of the issue

2025 WEEK 1 Runners of the Week

I really didn't plan on naming 9 Runners of the Week for last weeks competition, but with the majority of athletes competing at the SSS where no individual times were recorded, I had to go from the winning teams which each had 4 members. I likely will combine the ROW for the next two weeks.
HAVYN BARTELL (Beyer)--was a member of the winning boys 4 X 1.5mi team at Friday's SSS. The team's total time was 30:43 which averages out to be 7:41 per leg.
 
YUUSHI KENNEDY (Beyer)--was a member of the winning boys 4 X 1.5mi team at Friday's SSS. The team's total time was 30:43 which averages out to be 7:41 per leg.
 
ALEX MEJIA-HIDALGO (Beyer)--was a member of the winning boys 4 X 1.5mi team at Friday's SSS. The team's total time was 30:43 which averages out to be 7:41 per leg.
 
HAYES TERRY (Beyer)--was a member of the winning boys 4 X 1.5mi team at Friday's SSS. The team's total time was 30:43 which averages out to be 7:41 per leg.
 
NATALIE ARRIAZA (Patterson)--was a member of the winning girls 4 X 1.5mi team at Friday's SSS. The team's total time was 40:22 which averages out to be 10:10.5 per leg.
 
 MELANIE RODRIGUEZ (Patterson)--was a member of the winning girls 4 X 1.5mi team at Friday's SSS. The team's total time was 40:22 which averages out to be 10:10.5 per leg. 
 
DANIELA CARRASCO (Patterson)--was a member of the winning girls 4 X 1.5mi team at Friday's SSS. The team's total time was 40:22 which averages out to be 10:10.5 per leg. 
 
 JAYLYN CARRILLO  (Patterson)--was a member of the winning girls 4 X 1.5mi team at Friday's SSS. The team's total time was 40:22 which averages out to be 10:10.5 per leg.
 
 ELLE WILLIAMS (Turlock)--placed 2nd in the VG race at the Oakmont Inv. She ran 13:35.5 for the 4K distance which converts to a 17:12.4 5K

2025 XC Week 1 (Screamin Scott Showdown; Oakmont Inv)

Thirteen StanCo team were in action this week. So I'll officially begin numbering the weeks and naming Runners of the Week.
 
FRI 8/29 SCREAMIN' SCOTT SHOWDOWN @River Bluff Park, Ceres
The competing StanCo teams were Denair, Patterson, Hughson, Pitman, Orestimba, Waterford, Grace Davis, Big Valley, Enochs, Ceres, and Beyer. All runners ran 1.5 miles. There was a 4 person relay division and an open division. Unfortunately there are essentially zero official results for the meet. All four races were in progress at once; and as people began to cross the finish/hand off zones, the timer was simply overwhelmed. It seems to me there are some lessons here...I think that it all might have worked out if the runners had been wearing chips...or the four different races needed to be run separately and completed prior to starting the next race (we would have run out of day light)...but given the timing/race issues I did not hear anyone complaining. I think the kids had a good time and ultimately that is a positive thing.
 
BOYS 4 X 1.5mi Relay
the winning Beyer foursome
1. Beyer (Havyn Bartell, Yuushi Kennedy, Alex Mejia-Hidalgo, Hayes Terry) 30:43
2. Merced 31:47
3. Hughson A 32:09
4. Atwater 32:17
5. Summerville 33:56 
  
GIRLS 4 X 1.5mi Relay 
the winning Patterson quartet
1. Patterson (Natalie Arriaza, Melanie Rodriguez, Daniela Carrasco, Jaylyn Carrillo) 40:22
2. Pitman 41:02
3. Hilmar 41:06
4. Beyer 41:34 
5. Hughson 41:46 
  
  
SAT 8/30 OAKMONT INV @ Johnson Springville Park, Rocklin
The competing StanCo teams were Central Valley, Downey, and Turlock. All races in this meet covered the same mostly flat 4K course. This meet had 55 teams competing so there was some solid competition.

2025 XC StanCo PreSeason Girls

 
If you want to understand this post or my thought process please read the previous post about the Boys' PreSeason team.
 
I will start by saying that I believe that this year's girls' team is the best ever (fastest) StanCo squad ever. Four of the members are easily ranked in the top ten StanCo runners ever by any measure. Add to that they have at least another year to improve on their past efforts!
 
TOP TEN
 
NATALIE ARRIAZA 12th (Patterson)--What is left for Nat to prove? She is certainly in the top three StanCo runners ever. She owes the fastest StanCo time at Woodward Park of 17:43. She ran 18:43 at Willow Hills and on the track she has produced 10:35, 4:58, and 2:20. She was All StanCo XC in 23 and 24 and in track in 23, 24, and 25. On her worst day (which she rarely has) she is still great.
 
GISELLE FERNANDEZ 12th (Riverbank)--Giselle holds the StanCo record in the 1600 at 4:43...which is 10 seconds faster than the #2 person. She was 4th in last year's D4 State race in 17:48. At Willow hills she ran 19:23. On the track (besides the 1600m time) she has run 10:45 and 2:14. She was All StanCo XC in 23 and 24. In track she earned All StanCo honors in 23, 24, and 25.
 
AVERY CARLSON 12th (Pitman)--the best surprise for me last season was the explosion of marks by a healthy Avery Carlson. She ran 19:02 at Willow Hills and 18:24 at Woodward. On the track her bests were 10:41, 4:59, and 2:22. She was All StanCo in XC in 23 and 24, and in track it was 24 and 25.
 
ELLE WILLIAMS 10th (Turlock)--Elle blow out her Frosh season and immediately she put everyone on notice that she was "FO REAL." She ran 20:04 at Willow Hills and 19:30 and Woodward. In Track she found her groove with times of 10:55, 5:10, and 2:25. She was All StanCo last year in both XC and track.
 
ADDISON WYLIE 10th (Oakdale)--if it hadn't been overshadowed by Elle's season I'd be raving about Addison's frosh year. She ran 19:38 at Willow Hills and 18:55 at Woodward. On the track it was 11:22 and 5:22. She was also All StanCo in both XC and track last season.
JYMENA NGUYEN-MARQUEZ 12th (Grace Davis)--Jymena has run 19:19 at Willow Hills and 18:57 at Woodward. On the track she has run 5:17. She was All StanCo in XC in 23 and 24 and in track in 24 and 25. Unfortunately she has had almost no competition in the WAC and is often injured. These two factors have left her standing just outside of greatness looking in. Could this be the season she is healthy all year? 
 
SOPHIE BENHAM 12th (Hughson)--Like Jymena Sophie has her own share of health issues, but she seems to have found an equilibrium between her training and her health, which has produced more consistently fast races. She was All StanCo XC in 22 and 24 and in track in 25. She has run 20:04 at Willow Hills and 19:30 at Woodward. On the track she produced times of 11:33 and 5:26. 
 
 SAMANTHA DE LA CRUZ 11th (Orestimba)--if there was a most improved award for last year it would likely go to Sam. she was All StanCo in both XC and track. At Willow Hills she ran 20:18. On the track she broke out with times of 11:44, 5:12, and 2:20. She Benham and Hilmar's Logsdon will battle in the TVL this season. 
 
 
MYLIE OLSON 11th (Turlock)--I am waiting for Mylie to reach her potential. Her coach has tagged her as a mostly a 400/800m runner in track and I think that is part of the issue. I think the 1600 could be her best event. In XC, due to several graduates from last year's team, they will need more from her to repeat as CCAL champs. At Woodward she ran 19:52 last season. On the track she ran 5:13 and 2:20 to make the All StanCo track team. 
 
ANAHI RUIZ VELASCO  9th (Beyer)--This is only the second time I have placed an incoming 9th grader on the girls' preseason top 10. She ran 5:28 as an 8th grader. As a TRM person I know the 5K distance will not be an insurmountable barrier for her. She'll be pushed in practices and races by team-mate Tyleah. All of this leads me to believe that she deserves this placement.
 
THE NEXT TEN (eleven)
BRADIE EVANS 12th (Oakdale)--she is very experienced and the Mustangs will need that this season. She was All StanCo in XC in 23 and in track in 24 and 25. Her best times are 11:52, 5:30, and 2:26.
TYLEAH BADEA 11th (Beyer)--2:14 and 12:14 at the end of track got her All StanCo honors and onto this list. I think she and Anahi will push each other. They may even be able to challenge Jymena for the WAC title.
LIZ CHRISTOPHER 12th (Turlock)--Liz may have the worst running form of anyone on this list BUT boy does she have grit. She ran 11:54 and 5:34 to make All StanCo last season in track.
NOELI GOMEZ-OROZCO 12th (Hughson)--2:23 and 5:26 gets her onto this list, but the Huskies have lofty goals and will need her to be up with Benham and DeLaCruz. She is capable of doing that.
MELANIE RODRIGUEZ 12th (Patterson)--Melanie was injured for most of the track season but still managed to run 11:11:55 and 5:32 to make All StanCo. She has run 19:36 at Woodward park. 
KYLIE FAST 11th (Oakdale)--after transferring to Oakdale last year she had to sit out about half of both seasons. She ran 19:54 at Woodward and 12:08 and 5:32 on the track. This year she'll have a full season of racing. 
NAYELI MATTISON 12th (Pitman)--in track Nayeli is a work horse often running 4x800, hurdles, 400, 4x400...and whatever is needed. Over the course of the season I think this drains her. But she still produced 2:24 and 5:39. Pitman will surely need her best if they have any chance of challenging Turlock in the CCAL. 
TAYLOR REAMS 11th (Oakdale)--12:04 in the 3200. Oakdale will need more from her this year.
AVA MEDRANO 11th (Beyer)-- 5:36 in the 1600m. The Patriots will need more consistency from her this year to win WAC.
EMMA LYNN HOGAN (Central Catholic)--5:36, 12:30 
GISELA HERNANDEZ 9th (Turlock)--in coming frosh who ran 5:42 in 8th grade. The Bulldogs will need her if they have any hopes of returning to State this year.
