WEEK 10 (SubSections)

First I want to say that I am overjoyed that it didn't rain this past Saturday at SubSections. I almost didn't  make the trip up the hill because of the forecast of rain. With that said, I am glad that I went (and happier still that it didn't rain). Well, it was a looooooong day. I was there for 7.5 hours and took 2000 photos. That led to a long Saturday night and Sunday cropping and editing. I'll write more on this later in the week. Sub Sections is the only day all year that everyone (varsity) runs on the same course on the same day. Granted some teams cruise and others must go all out in order to qualify for Sections, but it does give me a point of comparison for both individuals and teams.

For VGs I focused on finishing times under 22:00; for the VBs I was looking at times under 17:30

D5 VG
StanCo teams in D5 include Waterford, Central Catholic, Denair, Turlock Christian, Big Valley

Romero

11. Jaecelyn Romero (Waterford) 21:30 q
32. Momoka Leadon (Central Catholic) 22:40 q

Team-wise Waterford placed 11th

D5 VB

Vazquez second of a long line of D5 runner

2. Anthony Vazquez (Central Catholic) 16:36 q
8. Jonathan Staley (Waterford) 17:19 q
10. Elias Fierro (Central Catholic) 17:29 q
13. Adal Robles (Waterford) 17:33 q

Team-wise both Waterford 8th and Central Catholic 9th both qualified

D4 VG
StanCo teams in D4 are Orestimba, Hughson, and Riverbank

At the beginning of the season the Hughson girls may have been StanCo's best bet to get a team to the State meet. However they have struggled through the season with injuries and illness. It will be interesting next week, when they are forced to run all out, what they will be able to produce.

61. Melony Garcia (Orestimba) 21:56

Team-wise Hughson was 3rd and Orestimba was 17th

D4 VB
Riverbank's boys have been climbing uphill all season. Last week they won the TVL championship meet, and it looked like they were on their way to sections. But on Saturday they would come up a bit short a a team.

32. Damian Lopez (Riverbank) 17:02 q
33. Chris Martinez (Riverbank) 17:03 q
36. Ramon Rosas (Riverbank) 17:05 q

D3 VG
StanCo teams in D3 are Patterson, Ceres, Beyer,  and Oakdale

65. Paris Thompson (Oakdale) 21:19
70. Jenna Stanislaw (Beyer) 21:41

Team-wise Oakdale placed 11th

D3 VB

34. James Forkner (Oakdale) 17:07 q
54. Tanner Cusano (Oakdale) 17:38 q
60. Brady Cardozo (Beyer) 17:50 q
62. Conner Farrow (Beyer) 17:56 q

Team-wise Oakdale was 12th, Beyer 16th, Ceres 18th, and Patterson was 25th

D2 VG
StanCo teams in D2 are Downey, Central Valley, Grace Davis, and Johansen

Downey swept through the MMC. Part way through the season they lost their #5 runner  and their #6 runner didn't compete Saturday. I was very curious how they would match up against the section's best--well they more than held their own.

Aguayo and Bickel

16. Makaelyn Bickel (Downey) 19:15 q
20. Esme Aguayo (Downey) 19:26 q
25. Alondra Cardozo (Downey) 19:36 q
45. Katie Krieger (Downey) 20:14 q
77. Yara Andujo-Velez (Grace Davis) 21:34
83. Meghan Matas (Downey) 21:57 q

Team-wise Downey was 5th, Grace Davis 19th, Johansen 22nd

D2 VB
The Downey boys had only qualified for sections once in the last 20 years (probably even longer) until Saturday. The Knights seem to be gaining confidence as the season progresses.

Benivides

9. Moises Benavides (Downey) 16:01 q
39. Andy Rojo (Central Valley) 16:51 q
52. Joel Cardoza (Downey) 17:07 q
56. Christian Gutierrez (Downey) 17:16 q
61. Ben Costa (Downey) 17:23 q
65. Chase Bogart (Central Valley) 17:32 q

Team-wise Downey placed 7th, Central Valley 13th, Grace Davis 22nd

D1 VG
StanCo team is D1 are Modesto, Turlock, Enochs, Gregori, Pitman

Gregori girls have had a rough season since top Jag, Briseida Garcia got injured at MMC 1. But behind super-frosh Maddie Kackley they ran to their first ever SJS team berth. Additionally Modesto which has been building all season behind Downey and Gregori also snuck into sections as a team.

Kackley

1. Madison Kackley (Gregori) 18:21 q
11. Mavleen Mann (Pitman) 18:40 q
18. Aryana Perillo (Modesto) 19:24 q
25. Hope Salsig (Turlock) 29:54 q
27. Eva rodriguez (Gregori) 19:56 q
46. Morgan McKay (Gregori) 20:32 q
49. Macie Ericksen (Turlock) 20:39
50. Greta Erlingis (Enochs) 20:39

69. Kassy Rojas (Gregori) 21:28 q
75. Sarah Siegel (Pitman) 21:50
78. Jacklyn Grubb (Gregori) 21:59 q

Team-wise Gregori was 8th, Modesto 10th, Pitman 11th, Turlock 12th, and Enochs 17th

D1 VB
This race was a contest to see who could put out the least effort and still hold their own and qualify. Gregori easily made it in. Modesto came on at the end of the season and slides into sections. Enochs started the season strong, but it all fell apart Saturday.

3. Santiago Ruiz (Gregori) 15:38 q
6. Mason Reeves (Gregori) 15:46 q

D12 JVB
The JV raced the exact course as the varsity. Interestingly enough a couple of the JV times met my sub 17:30 standard
