Week 10 Runners of the Week

With nearly all StanCo runners competing at SubSects this past Saturday, there were some awesome performances for me to select ROWs from. Given that, what I found was some of the best performances were produced by some of the most veteran athletes.

Perillo

ARYANA PERILLO (Modesto)--has led the Panthers all year as they labored behind both Downey and Gregori. She and her MoHi teammates had their best race Saturday. She placed 18th in the D1 race to lead her team to a 10th place finish and another spot in the Section Championships

Aguayo

ESMERALDA AGUAYO (Downey)--has helped lead the Knights to 4 straight MMC titles and two previous trips to Sections. I think even with all of her many solid past races, she ran her best race Saturday when her short-handed team needed it the most. She placed 20th in the D2 division to help Downey to a 5th place finish and another berth to the SJS meet.


OTHERS I CONSIDERED
MADISON KACKLEY (Gregori)--placed 1st in the D1 division to lead the Jags to their first ever team berth in the Section meet
HOPE SALSIG (Turlock)--placed 25th in the D1 division to snag Turlock's only SJS berth
MOISES BENAVIDES (Downey)--placed 9th in the D2 division to lead the Knights to the section meet for the first time in forever.
ANTHONY VAZQUEZ (Central Catholic)--placed 2nd in D5 to help CC to a sectional berth.
JONATHAN STALEY (Waterford)--placed 8th in D5 to lead his team to Friday's championships.
ELIAS FIERRO (Central Catholic)--after being injured for most of the season he placed 10th in D5.
ALONDRA HERNANDEZ (Riverbank)--placed 11th in D4
ALONDRA CARDOZO (Downey)--placed 25th in D2 to help the Knights to another SJS slot.
