33rd Annual Yucaipa Invitational - Yucaipa HS - 3.0 mile course that runs very similar timewise to old Mt. SAC coures - 15-30 seconds slower than new Mt. SAC course - Sat 10/5/02

Humberto Rojas (Estancia) presses ahead towards his strong 15:50 winner on a very hot mid-day

The second individual Estancia winner of the day was Humberto Rojas, with the 4:14.78 1600 track star handling the heat very well here in a well-paced effort! After he was ready quickly to talk about his race, "I was back a bit at the start. I was in the back of our team pack getting some water when the gun went off, so I had a pretty bad position there. My goal was to be under 16:00 here, which I was able to do. It is always hot here, and this is actually the coolest weather yet that our team has run in here. Last year I was the Southern Section Divisional Champ, and 5th in State. My goal this year is to win state. I am headed for Orange Coast College, then hope to continue my running at a four year school."
