After their disappointment from a week ago in Oregon, the boys rebounded with their best meet of the season, beating a very strong Academy team, 23-42.  The previous two meetings between the SW's #2 and #3 were decided by only seven and five points.

SW #1 Los Alamos Girls and Boys win in their home invitational. Weather
42 degrees, occasional light snow. Course: 3.0 miles, elevation 7350
feet, rolling hills. Location:Los AlamosGolf Course.
In the boys race theAlbuquerqueAcademy Chargers SW #3 matched Los

Alamos has now defeated Academy all four times they've face each other.

Girls

#1 Los Alamos NM

Won their home Invitational without the help of #2 Marisa Sandovol,
who sat out due to a lingering cough. Also, Coaches Hipwood report,
" #5/6 Analisa Sandoval also didn't run, resting from a stress fracture�
discovered last Monday in her foot.� Analisa felt some pain in
her foot during the final 200 meters at the Nike/Jim Danner meet.��She
may be cleared to resume running a week from�this coming Monday.�"
Much of the Los Alamos girls started back a few places from where they
finished and moved up in the middle of the race. In the end it looked
as if the Hilltopper girls measured their competition prior to the race
and ran with just enough effort to win decisively. Kristen Hemphill
shot to the front early and was never challenged as she went on the win by :25 seconds.
