Braves Endure Mt. SAC Invitational

After the Mt. SAC invitational was said and done some Braves came away from it with a feeling of accomplishment and some with a feeling of disappointment.

Four race levels took place for the team throughout the warm breezy day starting at 9:30 with the Varsity Boys.  The team were entered in the Individual Sweepstakes race, a race that featured many of the elite runners from throughout the state.  Once again leading the way for the Varsity Braves was Junior Anthony Martinez finishing the course in 15:46.  Running strong on this day as our 2nd man was Senior Daniel Estrella . Rounding out the top 7 were Senior Randy Hills, Senior Albert Flores, Senior Patrick Pavelski (who dropped his Mt. SAC PR over a minute to finish with a time of 16:54), and Sophomores Mahesh Gandhiand Ruben Flores . Overall the Braves finished 6th, with a team time of 82:17.

Other notable Brave performances throughout the day were:

• Junior Eddie Diaz and Senior David Garcia finishing 5th and 10th overall in their race.
• Ephraim Barrios and Luis Uribe leading their Sophomore team to a 3rd place finish.
• Freshman Randy Skillens finishing 2nd overall in his race and establishing himself as the Braves #8 runner.
