It appears the
week off worked wonders for the Cerritos College
men's cross country team at the Santa Barbara
Invitational, which took place at Leadbetter Beach
on Saturday. The Falcons placed seventh out of the
20 teams that competed and finished with 182 team
points, with Riverside Community College winning the
meet with 52 team points. Cerritos will now take a
week off before competing in the South Coast
Conference Championships on October 31 at El Camino
College.
Leading the pack
of Falcon runners was freshman
Angel
Aguirre (Valencia HS) who ran
strong along the beach and picked up the momentum
when the race moved to the ground. He finished in
12th out of 189 runners with a time of 22:48, which
was part of a larger pack of runners. Aguirre was
followed by sophomore
Geovanni
Popoca (Valencia HS), who was
the 26th runner to finish the race, and concluded
with a time of 23:12. Cerritos saw their next two
runners packed together, as freshmen
Torion
Bailey (Mayfair HS) came in
42nd place in 23:35, while
Jose
Amador (El Rancho HS) was
clocked in 23:39, good for 45th place overall. The
final scoring runner was freshman
Patrick
Schwab (Kennedy HS), who
placed 57th in 23:51.
The remainder of
the Cerritos team consisted of
Qualaun Reed
(Cabrillo HS; 68th place, 24:11),
Kyle Bogda
(El Dorado HS; 73rd place, 24:18),
