9/7/11 Interlock Results + Upcoming Saturday, 9/10/11 Ed Sias Invite Highlights!

Overall, great team results from the 9/7 NBL/SCL INTERLOCK with Cardinal Newman, El Molino, Piner and Casa Grande at Spring Lake.

It was a dry/hot ~92 degree day and our strategy of going out controlled for the first mile was very well executed by most everyone! -PRs we're limited as this was the first time on the Spring Lake course for ~28% of the runners on the roster. Lauren Kraus got a personal best and Andrea's time of 19:07 is #18 on the all-time Redwood Empire List for Freshmen Girls.

Special thanks to all the parents that helped us host a successful competition; for most, it was the first time with new responsibilities and everyone did great!

Full race results from our 9/7 interlock + pics can be found on the Press Democrat's website:
