Rio Hondo #1 Results & Photos

A lot of great running on both individual and team levels.

Our varsity boys won their first league race convincingly, 32-42, in a hotly contested battle against South Pasadena. Brendan Green runs his first race at the #1 spot for the team to take the runner-up position in the race. Closely following Brendan was Adam Skaggs who placed 3rd. And not too far behind Adam was Andrew Fisher to take the 4th position in the race. Erick Lankey and Anton Cwik round out the top-5 for LC, placing 10th and 13th respectively.




On the girls' side, our varsity ladies gave a valiant effort against a much improved South Pas team, but came up short with a score of 31-37.  Meghan Fuelling closed extremely well to take 2nd place (only 7 seconds off of the leader) by running her last mile faster than her first. Freshman, Anna Frederich, runs her debut at Lacy Park in 19:33 showing that an even-paced effort pays off in the end. Holly Shreckengast and Courtney Schulte both run sub-20 efforts to take 5th and 8th spots respectively.



At the JV level, the boys were barely beaten by the Tigers with a score of 26-34, with Jonathan Skaggs leading the way for the Spartans to take 3rd in the race. Alex Lee and Thomas Han were not far behind as they placed 4th and 5th. And fast improving John Clive also dips into the top-10 in the race.



Our JV ladies ran their best Rio Hondo race in many years. Leading the way for the Spartans was Flintridge Prep transfer Hannah Yoho who takes second place. Also in the top-five spots for the race are Diana Tran (3rd) and Miranda Dimase-Nordling (4th). Michelle Berjikian and Katherine Landesman take the next two spots as scoring members of the team. We win the team race by one point: LC with 41 points against San Marino's 42 and South Pas's 44. We have a legitimate shot at winning our first JV Girls league title in many years if we have a healthy squad in the next couple weeks.




Unfortunately, I don't have results for the Frosh-Soph race. I hope to get these in the next day or two.
