Ehrhorn-Gregory Duo Pilot Cougars to National Lead in Hoka Postal 2-Mile
In one of the most spectacular performances in Campolindo sports history, the Cougars dropped a staggering 9:20 average for their top-5 finishers at Wednesday evening's Mid-Season Mania 3200m Invitational hosted in Bob Wilson Stadium. Cool temperatures and zero wind made for optimal conditions as the state's top-ranked Division 3 squad flexed its depth and claimed the national lead in the Hoka Postal 2-Mile Championships.
While the final heat of the day featured Branham's Alijah Murillo as the top seed, it was Caden Ehrhorn (28) who energized the pace after a surprisingly slow 1st turn around the oval. Clark Gregory (27) joined his teammate at the font shortly thereafter and the race was on. Though Murillo did attempt to take the lead in the 2nd mile, the Campolindo duo simply refused to defer to the favorite and eventually pulled away, breaking the tape in 9:10.80 and 9:11.46, respectively.
Perhaps even more shocking were the closing laps of Nikola Van Delft (27) and Gavin Gunn (27), who nearly caught the Branham star as they posted 1st-time sub-9:20 marks to help land their squad 4 of the top 5 finishing places.
Just 10 seconds later, Jack Durden (27) and Chase Nickens (28) barreled over the finish to give the boys 5 in the top 10 and 6 in the top 11.
Prior to this incredible result, the Cougars had already posted what would eventually stand up as top-20 performances in the preceding heat as Cody De La Cruz (26) streaked away from the field with an convincing 9:33.09 win and Taiyo Chiba (27) and Samuel Hearn (27) snuck under the 9:40 mark. Drew Shogan claimed the 20th overall finish on the night at 9:47.59.
The Cougars' team time of 46:91 is now #1 on the Hoka Postal 2-Mile national rankings with the competition set to close on November 2.
Other notable performances included a season debut by Claire Andrzejek (26), who provided the 4th-best mark for the girls at 11:40.86, and a 37-second improvement over last year's time by Anjali Rao (26). The biggest PR was turned in by Jonah Char (28), who lowered his mark by 2 minutes and 24 seconds.

Boys Reclaim NCS Team Record on State Course; Gregory Debuts as Top Finisher
With the return of Clark Gregory (27) and Gavin Gunn (27), along with the debut of Chase Nickens (28), the already impressive season for the defending state champions found a new gear at Friday's Rough Rider Invitational hosted on the historic Woodward Park 5k course. Facing off against 2 of California's top-ranked squads, Vacaville and Matilda Torres, the Cougars proved themselves worthy of their own early-season accolades with an emphatic 40-point victory in the varsity large-school division.
While Gregory and Caden Ehrhorn (28) provided the lowest sticks with 2nd and 3rd-place finishes, it was the trio of Gunn, Nikola Van Delft (27), and Jack Durden (27) crossing the line within 5 seconds of one another in 11th, 13th, and 14th place that propelled the squad to the NCS team-time record of 77:30, overtaking the mark set by Dublin High School a decade earlier.
The jaw-dropping rate of improvement among the varsity boys continued as Taiyo Chiba (27) dropped his best time on the course by over 2 minutes. Van Delft improved by 1:45 and Samuel Hearn (27), who also broke the 16-minute barrier, improved by 1:34.
The girls' competition featured a nearly 2-minute improvement by Sophie Lechner (27), who became the squad's #3 scorer. Rana Beeson (28) finished 4th for the team in her 1st varsity appearance.
