Due to the quality of runners, I have updated the rankings into
a Top 20 List
1. Billy Nelson, Taft. Another race, another course record
for Nelson. Powered to a 15:31 win in the Division 4 Central Section
Final. How dominant was Nelson? Runner up and a notable in the rankings,
Giovanni Perezchica was 51 seconds behind him.
2. Yong-Sung Leal, Arroyo San Lorenzo.
3. Henry Hagenbuch, Cate School. Ran unchallenged in 15:38
at CIF-SS Division V, Race 13. He was over a minute in front of
the competition.
4. Kevin Davis, Clovis West. New week but Davis had to
hold off the same group as last week as he captured the Division
1 Central Section Final by 3 seconds over Buchanan's Casey Burchill.
5. Carl Dambrowski, Granada. .
6. Brett Gotcher, Aptos. Crushes yet another good field
with 14:56 romp at the CCS Finals.
7. Luke Llamas, Canyon. Made a statement that he is more
than just the No.1 man on the No.2 team in the country but a legitimate
individual threat as he upset previous No.8 Mike Poe to win the
high quality field in the CIF-SS Division I race.
8. Michael Hadden, Woodbridge. Hadden continues a superb
sophomore season winning the CIF-SS Division II race in 15:20 over
the boys from Rubidoux. It would be unfair not to note that Rubidoux
had a dominating performance with all 7 guys uner 16:12. Less than
a minute gap between their 1-7. Hadden moves up a spot with the
upset of Poe.
9. Erick Maldonado, Don Lugo. Charged past Poe with Llamas
and took the No.2 spot at the CIF-SS Div. 1 race. He just keeps
getting better and better.
10. Mike Poe, Etiwanda. Took a surprising loss to Llamas
and Maldonado it will be interesting to see how he bounces back.
11. Jordan Horn, Alta Loma.
12. Jameson Mora, Canyon. Finished a solid 4th at CIF-SS
Division 1, arguably the most competitive race of the day.
13. Tim Nelson, Liberty Christian. Blitzes the field with
a 15:15 winner at Northern Section Finals, a whopping 41 seconds
up on 2nd place.
14. Ryan Morgan, Canyon. 5th at CIF-SS Division 1, 1 second
behind teammate Mora.
15. Casey Burchill, Buchanan. Has been very erratic this
season but bounces back from a dissapointing race last week to nearly
upset No.4 Kevin Davis. He can be very good and fight the top guys
one week and the next be a distant top 5 finisher. If he gets consistent
he could challenge for some big hardware in the coming weeks.
16. Jordan Kinley, Maria Carillo.
17. Mark Matres, Don Bosco Tech. 15:13 win at CIF-SS Division
9 was one of the quickest of the day.
18. Abadir Barre, Mt. Carmel. Reappeared finally with a
16:17 5K win at the Palomar Finals.
19. Dan Lyon, Sultana. Blazed a 15:11 in the CIF-SS Division
2, Race 11.
20. Kyle Alcorn, Buchanan. Like teammate Burchill, he seems
to go up and down but he's consistently been getting into the top
5 against the likes of #15Burchill and #4 Davis. Was 3rd behind
the two at the Central Section Championships.
