WEEK 7 (VOL 2; CCC 2, Crystal Springs; Castro Valley; Clovis Inv)

VOL CLUSTER 2  (Eagal Lakes)  5K
For the second time this year the VOL schools competed against each other. The course for this round was the remote Eagal Lakes in rural Tracy. This was my first time in this park and locating a good spot to take photos took some exploring. Even for a 5K course, these times seem pretty slow to me. There is very little spectator-runner opportunity for interaction, and that may be the factor slowing down the times (and it was pretty warm).

VGIRLS
Team-wise the two StanCo teams (Oakdale and Central Catholic) were a bit over-matched.

CCC CLUSTER #2 (Applegate Park) 3mi
For the second time this season the six teams of the CCC squared off to determine a piece of the league championship puzzle.

VBOYS
On the VB side the two StanCo teams (Pitman and Turlock) finished with about the same results as the prior meeting. Both team's lack of top contenders substantially hurt them in the team competition.

VGIRLS
There was a huge surprise here...Turlock finally overcame their nemesis, Atwater! The Turlock pack was able to move up a few spots from the last cluster and that was enough to nudge past a talented Atwater team.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS INV 2.95mi
Although Downey has this meet on their schedule, it appears that only MoHi actually ran. Since all divisions ran the same 2.95 mi course it is possible to combine the results.
