A Day at the Beach

The Morro Bay Invitational was run under cloudy and cool conditions which lead to ideal racing conditions. The course, which changes yearly due to tide and dune conditions was measured at
roughly 2.6 miles. No team scores are kept at this fun and unique event.

In the boys race, Centennial's Eric Millan (So) had the fastest time of 16:04 (6:10 pace) and came in 16th overall. The top Taft athlete was freshman Phillip Taylor, who ran 17:57 for 81st place.

A Driller Gets His First Cross Country Win

Coach Armour (Centennial) reports some preliminary results:

It was hot day at South High like it was most everywhere today. The course at South was like many on campus courses with lots of running back and forth on the same course which leads to some confusion especially amongst the inexperienced harrier.


Coach Armour was please with his first wins (as a head coach) but knows that many challenges lie a head in the SWYL. This Friday they are off to the Hanford Invite and the face defending SWYL champs Ridgeview next week.
