Boys Start: Jake Schmitt Redwood in (middle in all red) was among those that missed a turn
in the race and went a bit longer to be 'beaten'! Notice that some kids ran barefoot on this
beachside race! It's actually a violation on National Federation rules, which require the use
of shoes. We hope athletes are in compliance (rather than DQ'ed) at any future meets there.

Sophomore Katelyn Cavelli (Drake) & Jose Pelayo (Redwood) won the races.
