The first week of September has arrived and I have no idea what is going on in the SWYL, SEYL or SYL besides who is in what league. The EB Invite has been pushed back a week (Sept. 15th) and league action is not expected till the last week of September.I have heard the SWYL will have cluster meets instead of dual meets but can not get official word from the district. Plus I have heard nothing about the other two leagues. It would be nice to know the dates and who is running against who so I could promote and cover the action.
So if anyone has an official schedule, I would love to have a copy. Be nice to have a copy of the rules on how league championships will be decided too.
On a more positive note, CSUB had a good meet at Malibu!
On Wednesday the first, CSUB started off their season with a trip to Pepperdine for the Malibu Seaside Open 5k.
MALIBU, Calif. - Running what CSUB Head Coach Robert Boyles deemed an aggressive race, senior Arianna Celis (Perris/Riverside CC) took top individual honors as the Roadrunner cross country team split a tri-meet with Pepperdine and the University of San Diego Wednesday evening in Malibu.
CSUB defeated San Diego 15-47 but fell to the host Waves 24-33.
"I knew we were going to have one of our best teams ever, but we did better than I thought we would our first time out this season," said Boyles. "To be honest, three of our top five were sick last week, so I didn't know what to expect tonight. I very happy with the way we competed."
Celis, of course, stole the headline Wednesday, navigating the hilly Malibu 5K course in 18:54.96 to defeat Pepperdine's Aneasha Lawrence by 15 seconds.
"Her strategy was to be aggressive and put the hammer down, and that's what she did," said Boyles. "She ran a great race and led all the way."As pleased as he was with Celis' effort, he reserved his highest praise for sophomore Cecilia Lopez (North HS), who finished sixth overall at 19:56.48.
"Cecilia made a huge improvement," said Boyles of Lopez, who ran 21:19 on the course as a freshman. "It was her best race ever."
In addition to Celis and Lopez, the 'Runners got top 10 finishes from Casey Glassey (Loma Linda/Riverside CC), who placed fifth in 19:50.54, and junior Judith Mata (Oxnard/Rio Mesa HS) who finished 10th in 20:32.25.

Thursday 09.02.10:
On the high school scene, school has been in session for two weeks now and the main theme has been the heat. After a mild summer, the heat has hit us. So training has been curtailed or hampered.
During the summer most teams run early in the morning or in the evening and then school starts and teams have to run in the afternoon. Along with the heat, bodies have to get use to being at school all day too. Lastly the heat canceled some of the scrimmages that were to be held this week.
From what I have heard, most of the KHSD meets scheduled for Thursday were canceled do to the heat and bad air quality by the district. One meet that went off as scheduled was the scrimmage at McFarland.
In preparation for their Jim White Invite on Sept. 18th, the Cougars hosted and evening meet on their campus and nearby park on Thursday the 2nd. In the past, their 5k course consisted of three laps on this course. On the 18th they plan on hosting the central sections first evening meet under the lights. On Thursday the action was hot in both the boys and girls races.
The reported scores were:
Girls - Shafter 24 Mcfarland 41
Arvin and Ceaser Chavez were also at the meet. In the girls race, it was very close with a mile to go and then Shafter took over. I was told a Shafter girl won the varsity race.
Boys - Shafter 29, McFarland 32, Wasco 46
The boys race appears very close and the win went to Shafter senior Jesus Villalpando who out kicked McFarland sophomore Erick Garcia. Times were reported in the 16s on the 3.2 mile course (it was longer then a 5k).
too be continued ...
