PRs for RoadRunners at Home

On the day of the Wolf Pack Invite at River Walk, CSUB was having it's own invite and only home meet. Despite the heat, Juniors Arianna Celis and Casey Glassey each recorded personal best times to lead the CSUB cross country team to a third place team finish behind Pepperdine and Westmont. Celis crossed the line in sixth place with a time of 18:30.20. Glassey was right behind her, placing seventh in 18:32.60.

Senior Lina Nuñez was the third CSUB runner to cross the line, finishing 16th (19:33.20). Freshman Cecilia Lopez was 19th in 20:00.70.

Up next, CSUB heads to the Doc Adams Open hosted by UC Davis on Saturday, Oct. 3.

The first unattached athlete was Brooklan Rosales (Centennial/BC/Wyoming) in a time of 21:32 and former RoadRunner Erica Silva ran 23:39.

Some former Kern athletes also ran their first 5k of their lives. They are on the CSUB track athletes and have to run for CSUB in cross country.

One former Liberty sprinter has actually made the transition quite well. Julia Fitch (photo) had never raced beyond a 400 to my knowledge but made the traveling squad and has been improving all season long. Today she ran 22:31which is a good time and would have made her the second best runner for Liberty last year. I think the 800 is in her future.

Further done the field was Candice Nichols (South sprinter & triple jumper) and Brushay Wandick (Driller sprinter) both braved the distance and finished the 5k.

CSUB does not have men's squad but there was a men's 8k race. It was a close one between Pepperdine and Westmont with Pepperdine winning 29 to 31.

Several local runners competed in the 8k as Team Lightning:

• Ryan Lucker (Stockdale/CSUB) ran 26:02 for 8th
  
• David Bacus (West/UCSB) ran 26:21 for 10th
• Eddy Lee (CSUB) ran 27:05 for 16th
• Oscar Fuentes (East/Cal Poly) ran 27:21 for 21st

Running unattached were Ian Heiter (Taft/BC) in a time of 30:53 and 50 plus age grouper Cregg Weinmann ran 33:08.
