Full Meet Results
FRESNO, Calif. — Woodward Park, perhaps the most famous cross country course in history, gave another day of fantastic performances.
Niza Barton set the tone for the day, starting the crew off with a bang as she made her sophomore debut. A year of training paid dividends as Niza took the course racing wisely for her 15th-place effort, finishing in 19:40. This shaved nearly two minutes off her time from last year.
On the men's side, freshman Ben Cook-Appel led the pack with a 37th-place finish in a field of 253 runners. Cook-Appel finished the four-mile course in 21:50.
This is the first time Lake Tahoe CC has fielded a full men's team in the modern era. It set a great example for the season, taking 7th place out of 23 community college teams.
Four Freshmen were the first in for the Coyotes:
The Coyotes will travel to Oakland, Calif.'s Merritt College on Sept. 12 for the Kyle Robinson Invitational.
The Coyotes are set to return to Woodward Park for the Northern California and State Championships this November.
