2007 Thirteen hours in the car and two hours of sleep couldn't keep former Cougar great Catherine "Sparky" Murillo (07) from racing around the Springfield Country Club golf course to cheer on her teammates at the NCAA West Regional Championships in Eugene. A walk-on for the nationally ranked Gouchos, Murillo continues to persue her running career in Santa Barbara. September

2006 Overcoming asthma was just one of the challenges Shawn Rosenthal (04) faced on the road to athletic success. Diagnosed with a variety of physical ailments as a young boy, doctors recommended that Rosenthal avoid endurance activities and high impact athletics. However, upon entering high school in 2000-2001, with encouragement from Campolindo coaches and teachers, Rosenthal began a journey that would see him grow into a competitive runner, and then, an elite cyclist. Gaining confidence through high school cross country and track, Rosenthal developed an affinity for the trials of endurance sports. In his junior year he joined Tieni Duro, a junior development bike racing team. During his senior cross country and track season he climbed through the junior national cycling ranks, capping the year with a 16th place finish at the USA Championships. Now a member of the UC Davis Category "A" Team, Rosenthal recently helped the Aggies to the 2006 Division I Collegiate National Title. A medallist in the team time trial event, Rosenthal's story is a lesson in perseverance. Check out more on Rosenthal's cycling success on the UC Davis Cycling page HERE.
