Overell Leads Impressive Rookie Field; Summer Training Pays off Big for Essl
In the first race of the afternoon at Friday's "Little Ed" practice meet on the 2.0 mile Hidden Valley Park course, Emma Overell (18) ran a well paced solo effort to win the Rookie Girls' division by over 2 and a half minutes.
The junior, who begin running just last year during the spring track season, looked like a varsity contender as she churned out a sub-14 minute performance.
Petra Nord (17), a senior exchange student from Sweden, clocked 15:38 for 2nd place while freshmen Sarah Naughten (20) and Maddie House (20) also cracked the 15-minute barrier, placing 3rd and 4th, respectively.
Track veteran Niki Moore (17) made his cross country debut with a wire-to-wire win in the Rookie Boys' race with Pablo Nguyen (20) topping the the rest of the class of 2020 talent to finish 2nd.
The Veteran Girls' competition was dominated by improvements from Hannah Ruane (18) and Isabella Chao (18), who each set new 2-mile bests.
The day was capped with solid performances from Jared Yabu (17) and Ray Diaz (17), who lowered their own course records while taking the top 2 spots in the Veteran Boys' race. Teddy Buckley (19) equalled his course best, set at the first 2015 league center meet, crossing the line in 11:11.
The day's biggest PR came from Max Essl (19), who showed what a year of consistent training can do, knocking over 70 seconds off his previous Hidden Valley Park best.
