Abbey (2nd/16:46), Paul Brown (3rd/16:55), Will

US#10 Albuquerque Academy placed all five scorers in the top 20 to
win the Albuquerque City Championships over defending 5A state champs
La Cueva, 48-76. Academy's five-man average time of 16:30.2 is the third
best ever on the 11-year-old course which has been home to 32 invitational
or championship meets. The 16:30.2 is 10.6 seconds per man faster then
Albuquerque Academy’s 2004 team at this meet last year. Conditions
were favorable with cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 60s.
Matt Tebo of Eldorado tied the Academy
championship course record of 15:21 for 3.025 miles set by Shadrack
Kiptoo of La Cueva in 2003 (2003 Footlocker Nationals -
3rd place). Says Coach Jim Buter, "this makes Tebo a serious contender
for the Footlocker Nationals".

4, Page, AZ
US#11 Page came roaring back to Arizona
Friday. After a 50-53 defeat at the hands (feet, really) of Albuquerque
Academy two weeks ago at the
Curtis Williams Invitational in
Gallup, NM, Page put the hurt on the field of the Bud Davis Invitational.
Coach Mark Lomeland's runners took 2-3-4-5-7 and 10, for good measure,
in winning with a score of 21, a margin of of 72 points over second place
host Tuba City in the 13-team meet.
Weston Jones of Red Mesa was the individual winner in 17:59 on the 3.1-mile
course in typical Arizona hot and sunny weather. Antonio
Smith (2nd/18:26),
Donovan Tsinnijinnie (3rd/18:34), Levi
Lomeland (4th/18:35), and Nathan
Lee (5th/18:36) took the next four places for Page, just 10 seconds apart.
Javier Jim followed two places and 15 seconds later, Tomai
Bitsoi was
10th in 19:16. That's a 25-second gap from 1-5 and 50 seconds for 1-6.
It looks like Page is ready for Mt. Sac where it will run Friday because
of academic commitments Saturday.

Rachel Valverde fell at about the 1.3 mile mark and did not finish. " At
this time. coach Jim Butler said, "I am not sure
what caused her to fall but she appears to be uninjured. Obviously my
first priority is her health. Over the next two weeks I will be doing
everything possible to see that she is healthy and ready to race for
our district meet."
"Laura really stepped up and saved us at this meet," Butler added. "She
ran a huge PR and secured the victory for us. Our
average time was 19:54 without Rachel at this meet. Previously, at the
Academy Invite we had averaged 20:20 with her so we are progressing nicely.
Next week we do not have a meet and then the week after that we will
be hosting our district meet against Highland, Los Lunas, Manzano, and
Rio Grande."

OTHERS TO WATCH:
St. Michael's put five runners in the top 12 to win the girls championship
at the Capital City Invitational in Santa Fe, NM. Irene
Ossola and Tess
Amer ran 1-2 for The victors in 18:48 and 18:55. Patty
Murray (7th/20:12),
Katie Behm (11th/20:41), and Carolyn

This is a team average of 19:51.6 compared to the 20:29.8 average by
eventual US#3 Los Alamos in 2003 on a course that was then 0.06-miles
longer. The change was due to safety issues.
