At the end of the day three Warriors walked away with medals,
earning recognition as top individuals in their divisional races. Kailey Eddy took over 90 seconds off of her
time from last year to finish sixth in a loaded sophomore field. Her time of 19:27 places her fourth all-time
on the Warriors all-time list and was one of the best on the day; out of nearly
1000 runners her time was 14th over-all.
The temperatures skyrocketed into the 90’s by
mid-day but that didn’t stop Jessica Xu and Karen Mac who medaled in the senior
girls race. Xu finished in 20:29 while
Karen Mac crossed in 21:16. Both marks
are just off their personal bests but with the high temperatures and humidy the
effort was there.

Nicole Favre was the surprise of the day for the Warriors, a
WCAL Finalist in the 400 meters last spring, ran to an impressive time of 21:45,
a time that ranks her 22nd all-time for the Warriors. Rounding out the scoring runners was Annie
Yeh with a time of 25:01.
The Boys had an impressive showing as well and continue to have
impressive performances from the young team.
The freshman boys had four top finishers, three of whom landed in the
score card finishing in the Top 7 runners on the day.
Nathan Lynch led the Warriors for the second week in a row improving
over 30 seconds from last year’s performance.
What makes that even more impressive is the junior was running tired
after a difficult week of training that included an 8 mile run the day
before.
There were a number of Warriors improving their times,
including Jeremy Dong who finished in 18:12.
Peter Enfantino once again showed his summer training has paid off
improving 2:54 over last year’s debut.
Samuel Han also had a nice jump improving nearly 30 seconds as well. Training partners with Lynch he too ran 8
miles the day before keeping his eyes on the big picture, the WCAL Championship
in November.
It is one of the largest freshman groups in years and the
results show promise for the next generation of runners coming through Valley
Christian. Nedu Ndili had quiet the
debut for only running two weeks, crossing in 19:12. Yash Patel who was the top freshman last week
was suffering through cramping calved but held on to an impressive 19:26. He was joined by Justin Baraona (19:40),
Cameron Lockard (20:00). Mathew Weeks
held on despite cramping to finish the team’s 5th runner. Samuel Cuevas and Mathew Milner rounded out
the scoring team for an impressive freshman squad.
“I’m excited for the freshman,” said team captain Nathan Lynch. “When they figure it out and if they can work
together they are going to be good.
Really good!”
It was a solid showing for the Warriors who travel to Pebble
Beach next week to compete in the RLS Relays.
