(Lauren Saylor of Buchanan is #1) YASMINE HEADED TO WORLD TRIATHLON CHAMPIONSHIPS IN JAPAN Sept 8th-11th. By virtue of her 2nd place finish (3rd overall, 2nd American) in Bellingham WA on Aug. 7th at the USA Triathlon National Championships, Yasmine qualified for the Junior (16-19) World Team in Japan. It's only her first year in that age group. Last year Yasmine was ranked #1 in the Nation and was the National Champion in the Youth (13-15) age group. She is currently ranked 4th in the Junior age group and is closing in on All-American status again. Her splits in Washington..... 11:04 for 750 meter swim - 0:56 transition - 37:33 for 20K Bike - 0:28 transition - 18:49 5K run - for a total of 1:08.47. Wow, an 18:49 5K AFTER all that. More info at USA Triathlon, check out 'Juniors'. (OK Yasmine, what other neat things are you holding out on us?) KAREN QUALIFIES FOR SENIOR NATIONALS Dangerous when wet! By virtue of her 2:36.41 (a significant PR) at Sectionals in the 200 meter breaststroke, Karen qualified for the Senior Nationals in Irvine, CA Aug 3-7. If Karen can get a 2:35.99 in Irvine, she qualifies for the Olympic Trials. Not the Junior Olympics, the Olympics. Karen was an All-American swimmer her sophomore year, but was slowed this past spring by a broken arm. Even though she had her cast removed just two days before section trials, Karen was 2nd in the SJS in the 100m breast, only .50 seconds behind legend Heather West of Davis HS (the CIF statewide Scholar/Athlete of the year). Obviously, Karen has returned quickly to top form. Karen was 9th of all Buffalo Babes at the 2004 JO's and is the fastest area XC runner of HS age that no one knows about. Update: Karen had a 2:39+ at Sr. Nationals but has plenty of time and opportunity to get her Oly. trials time in the next couple years. CAPRICE IS AAU NATIONAL CHAMPION - KAYLIN ALSO ON TOP! KAYLIN is a dual winner at Track City Invitational (Eugene, OR) 1500 meters Young Women - 1st place - 4:54.76 3000 meters Young Women - 1st place - 10:43.45 CAPRICE shows her stuff at the AAU Junior Olympics 7/30-8/6 in New Orleans with nearly identical times. CAPRICE WINS THE 3000 METERS RACE (10:37) !! and is 3rd in YW 1500m, 4:53.48  Caprice takes the Young Women's 3000m race. 5 BUFFALO BABES END 2005 NATIONALLY RANKED AT 1600m Of the Top 50 national runners in DyeStat's "Elite Rankings" of July 8, a whopping FIVE have run for the Chips.

MERIE PR'S TWICE AT P.A. J.O. QUALIFIER Merie ran 11:41 for 3000m and 5:35 for 1500m to get new personal bests at each distance. She was racing at Granada HS in Livermore CA and advanced to the Region 14 JO Qualifier on July 9/10. Her 3000m race was an especially good time, a strong run from end to end, and she even caused her dad to get all choked up. George, there's more where that came from!

VOLUNTEERS THANKS to Chelsea, Mairin, Allison & Kim for helping out at the 2005 PAL Jr Varsity Championships. And thanks also to Kathleen Steinkamp, and Jenny and Greta from Davis who were valuable volunteers, too. And how about Chika Eke and Robby Hartman of St. John Vianney each earning Hi Points and taking SJV's 4-person team to 3rd place! Chika won the 100, 220 hurdles, Long Jump and got 2nd in the 220. Robby finished in a dead heat tie for the mile, and got 2nd in the 880, 70 hurdles, and high jump. Woo-Hoo! The Buffalo Babes volunteered at the meet, passed out medals, and signed autographs (even shoes) after the meet Tuesday, October 5 KAYLIN PENNINGTON
Kaylin was 2nd at the Cowchip Classic Varsity race with the 4th fastest time of the day (19:07), including the Golden Cowchip race. Only Jenny Bergren, Ashley Stratman, and Kaitlin Gregg were faster. One week later, she finished Top Ten in the Stanford Div 1 unseeded race, just losing a stretch battle to Babe Caitlin Clark. Her time of 19:38 was the 6th fastest of all the Sac-Joaquin Section girls at Stanford, which is remarkable considering how many fine teams were there. Just last week, Kaylin won the Solano County Center Meet by almost 2 1/2 minutes. Come league championship time, Kaylin will have a good battle for the league title with Caprice Bradshaw of Fairfield. She must also be considered a contender for the Division 2 section title. Kaylin is also very active at school. She is secretary of the Key Club at Benicia HS, tutors math four days a week, and is also involved with church choir. She was accepted into the Stanford "High School Summer College" program and spent eight weeks on campus in Palo Alto. Kaylin attributes some of her athletic improvement to the availability of excellent training facilities while rooming at Stanford. Kaylin is the 2nd Buffalo Babe from Benicia HS following the 2002 invitation of Tina Firouz, who is now a sophomore at UC San Diego. Kaylin's acceptance completes what has become yet another outstanding Young Women's Buffalo Babe side. KAREN FRAZIER
But back to Karen... If there is a better runner in the Sac-Joaquin Section who does not do HS track or cross country, I would like to know who she is. My vote goes to Karen. Karen is one of the area's top year-round swimmers, who is quite adept on solid ground, as well. Karen swims for Jeff Pearson on the Sierra Marlins USS team, one of California's top programs. She took 2nd place at the Sac-Joaquin section swimming finals last May in the 100yd Breaststroke, and became an All-American (Top 100 highschoolers nationwide) in that event. Karen often swims 8-10,000 yards in one day. Prior to last year's JO's, Karen would get up at 4:30 for AM swim, take a heavy load at St. Francis, go to most of the PM swim, and then for a nightcap, do the Buffalo Babes workouts at Mather Field, a regimen which the mere thought of leaves most people breathless - or worse. She was on the Nat'l Champion Buffalo Babes IG team in 2003, looking strong and finishing in 80th place. At the Feb. 2004 Davis Stampede, Karen won her age group with a 19:40 5k PR. She's been working even harder lately, and judging by her recent 21:22 on the Willow Hill Resv. course at a recent USATF meet, she's looking 'mahvelous'. That time (on the slightly modified course) would have been good for 5th PLACE !!! at the Granite Bay Invitational. Karen's goal is to be an All-American in swimming and cross country in the same year. Don't bet against it. Saturday, September 25 ALEX KOSINSKI
People who were still used to seeing Natalie White in an Oak Ridge uniform were completely caught off guard in late October 2003 when Alex began to get noticed. While Cherise McNair used the Placer Invite as her breakthrough race on her way to the Div 3 Section title, it was also Alex Kosinksi that equally headlined that day, edging Hillgals Andrea Gruber and Amanda Gillming for 2nd place at Placer's own race. She had been a complete unknown quantity, but that all ended on Oct. 24. Within the next 3 weeks, Alex defeated veterans Erin Wachter and Amanda Burkhardt for the Sierra Valley Conf. league title, and had claimed 4th place at Sections which earned her a trip to the State Meet, and a selection to the Sac Bee 2nd team All-City list. Alex continued her great running into the spring at distances from 400m all the way to 1600m. She earned a berth at the Sacramento Meet of Champions and, in one of the great races all spring, the freshman dueled NorCal all-stars Kim Conley and Lindsey Kirschman to the wire and had a 4:56 1600m PR to show for it, finishing 3rd. She went on to post outstanding subsequent times in the 800 and 1600, and just missed a trip to the CIF state track meet at Hughes, taking the dreaded 4th spot in the 1600m at section finals. Her accomplishments were not lost on the selection committee at the USATF Junior Elite Camp at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA. Alex received an invitation to learn and train with a couple dozen of the finest female HS distance runners in the nation, all expenses paid. Her running future is as bright as anyone's in the Sac-Joaquin area. Alex has accomplished all this while still playing competitive soccer for the El Dorado soccer club. To simply say that we are 'excited' to have Alex on the Buffalo Babes would be a misuse of the English language. Great luck the rest of the year Alex, and we're glad to have you. Saturday, September 25 BRECKEN DRAGER
While the Eagles of Del Oro have always had a top-notch distance program, optimism may be near an all-time high on the Loomis campus, partly because Brecken and her teammates have improved to the point where Del Oro can probably, at worst, make plans for state and, at best, find place for another section XC banner. Last year Brecken, the #2 Del Oro runner, was 16th in D3 at section finals. Her time was 21:16 on the very difficult and wet Sierra College course. She then ran 20:33 at state. With Bethany Gardner's graduation, it was time for Brecken to step up to the role of senior leader. From the day of her very first invitational in 2004 (Rocklin), it was obvious that this was a Brecken Drager we had not yet seen. She took 6th in that race, was 3rd in the small school race at Nevada Union (the #1 girl from this section), and took 4th in her SFL league meet. Most recently Brecken was Top 20 at Stanford with a very fine 19:26 time, which is a huge accomplishment given the quality of that field. She is currently ranked among the Top 5 individuals the whole section. Brecken's races are characterized by a patient start and three even-paced miles. When the finish line is in sight, Brecken can call upon the footspeed that led her to a spot in the 2004 track section finals with a 2:20 time. Good luck to you this fall, Brecken, and we are very, very happy you will accompany us to Illinois. Friday, September 17 FRANCESCA STONUM The Young Women's team gets a huge boost. Senior Francesca Stonum of Lodi HS is the newest Buffalo Babe! Fran has three Top 10 finishes already this year: 3rd at Lodi, 9th at Granite Bay, and an awesome 2nd against a quality field at Lagoon Valley, hanging on with Caprice Bradshaw until the bitter end. A veteran of the cross country battles over her high school years, Fran has clearly taken her game to a new level and will shooting for a high Div 1 finish in 2004. During track, Fran began to show many signs that she was serious about improvement. She sported 5:27 mile times at both subs and section trials and ran a 11:37 3200m for 4th place at the Modesto subsections. In 2003, she was 13th at Frogtown subsection with a 19:49 but neither she nor her team were able to make State. Count Fran among the very hungry runners that will be all-business on Nov 13 at Willow Hill. Francesca is coached by Jeff Tillett at Lodi. Check out this article on 'Flying Franny' Stonum in the Lodi News! Saturday, September 4 CAITLIN CLARK
Caitlin is a sophomore at Granite Bay High School and will help continue the Grizzly tradition of excellent girls' distance running. (Granite Bay has won four straight Division 2 cross country section titles.) Not that Caitlin is willing to attempt to make people forget about the other 'Caitlin', but she has already drawn comparisons beyond the similar name. As just a freshman last spring, the Jim Hunt trained runner accomplished something her namesake wasn't ever able to do: qualify for the state meet in track and field. Her Hughes Stadium time of 2:15.26 on May 28th for 800 meters was good enough for 2nd in the entire section and Caitlin nearly made the finals at the CIF meet, ending up 12th overall. Caitlin also had a 5:07 mile PR. On the dirt, Caitlin had a great 2003 XC season for G-Bay, helping the team to 4th in the state. She was 11th in the wicked-tough Sierra Foothill league and was a fine 14th in the Div. 2 Section meet. She raced great at state: 19:47, the #7 Sac-Joaquin girl (75th overall). Judging by Caitlin's 4th place finish (#1 Grizzly) at the Granite Bay invite, and her successful summer training program, we haven't seen anything yet from Caitlin. Proud to have ya on board, Caitlin! Friday, August 13 AMANDA MORENO
Amanda claimed the SJS Divison 4 Section Title in November at Sierra College with the 5th fastest time of the day (19:48) section-wide! Only Chock, Bryan, LaBeaud, and McNair were faster. Two weeks later she outlasted Marlene Elizalde by 3 seconds to win our section's 3rd girls' individual CIF State championship of the day! (Bryan-D1, Chock-D2, Moreno-D4). Amanda continued her fine running into the spring dropping way below 11 minutes in the 3200m (10:42 at Subs) and earning a coveted spot at the state track meet. Amanda had hoped for a better run at Hughes stadium but 10:59 is still pretty good and Amanda settled for 14th. She was back at Jim Hunt's camp this summer, and is ready to repeat her state title. Oh yeah, Amanda was also the Modesto Bee Runner of the Year last fall. Amanda's family includes parents Marlin and Cindy, and brother Vic who holds an amazing athletic distinction. Vic himself was the Div 4 cross country section champion in 1998, but in the 1999-2000 school year, Vic won the individual section title in cross country AND in wrestling. Now there's a unique double. Vic is now an All-American wrestler at Cal Poly. Vic also took 3rd place in the PAC-10 conference. Modesto Bee article on Amanda - The Runner of the Year Monday, August 9 KATIE FRITZKE
As a freshman cross country runner, Katie posted some impressive credentials for Mt. Shasta. On a very hot day, she won the frosh/soph division at the Ed Sias Invitational (13:14) ahead of Mo Huber and Kelsey Dallara. Three weeks later, Katie would finish 2nd in the Division 5 race at Stanford Invitational behind only nationally-known Heather Iatauro of New York. In November, Katie became the North Section Champion (all divisions combined). She won the race by 12 seconds finishing in 19:06. Katie was Top 10 at State, finishing 7th in Division 5 with a 19:53 time. For 2004, she has been ranked 1st Team All-State in Division 5 by dyestatcal.com. Katie's brother Austin also runs for Mt. Shasta High. Welcome to the team Katie and good luck this season. Katie wins North Section Crown - Read about it in PrepBeat.com Tuesday, August 3 ERIN LEWIS
Erin was a STATE QUALIFIER in the 1600m and one of only 4 girls in the Sac-Joaquin Section to be below 5:00 during the 2004 track season. She clocked a 4:59 at section finals to take 2nd. Erin also had a spectacular cross country season as she finished 4th at subsections and sections in Division 1. Her 19:02 at the subsection meet put her in the Top 10 all-divisions-combined for the Sac-Joaquin Section. It's a great run whenever you are below 19:00 at state and Erin had a career race at Woodward Park with an 18:46 time, making her the #3 Div 1 girl from our section. (23 overall in D1)... and for the topper, at the cross country state meet, the only girls from our area faster than Erin were Chock, Bryan, LeBeaud, Moreno, and Gruber. To say it another way, Erin was the 6th fastest girl in the Sac-Joaquin section...and the 3rd fastest returning runner. We are very pleased to have Erin Lewis as a Buffalo Babe. (Erin is shown wearing #11 running alongside Liza Pascuito at the CIF state meet.) You can check out this Modesto Bee article on Erin. Wednesday, July 21 CHELSEA REILLY
Expect some great things out of Chelsea this coming year. Having played metro soccer in the past, Chelsea has decided to focus solely on running and the rapid improvements at the end of last year should only continue. After decent but unspectacular runs at League and Subsections in her 2003 freshman year, it was Chelsea's huge improvement to 10th place at Section Finals that led to DHS 'upset' of Nevada Union in the Div 1 race. Her time at sections was 20:49, a pretty good time at that course in that weather, and the 4th fastest freshman time in all the Sac-Joaquin Section. (Only Kosinski, Gove, and Lackner were faster.) She followed that run up with a solid 19:58 at state. Only 15 freshman were faster in the whole state in D1. We are really glad to have Chelsea aboard. MERIE PADDECK Welcome to the team, Merie. Well, actually Merie has been a Buffalo Chip for quite a while... so welcome to the Buffalo 'Babes', Merie. Merie will be qualifying individually as we only have 8 spots on the Team Roster, but she IS a Buffalo Babe, which is something she's had her sights set on for a couple years. She's worked hard and we're really proud of her. Good luck the rest of the HS season, Merie.

Wednesday, October 1 CROALL AND MELTVEDT join the BABES NEW BUFFALO BABES CAITLIN CROALL - SENIOR - LINCOLN H.S. - Y.W. ('85-'86) Weve got Grizzlies, Tigers, and Bulldogs. Now we also have a Fighting Zebra! Caitlin Croall of Lincoln HS will be a Buffalo Babe! Shes had an outstanding fall in this, her senior year. After just missing the State meet by a couple spots in 2001, Caitlin qualified last year by finishing 5th in Div. 4 at Sections (20:44) and did quite well at State improving upon that time. This year so far, her racing has improved stunningly. She was 3rd overall at Bear River (first in the small school division) with a time of 20:48, only 30 seconds behind Kim Crouch. (As you know, some girls arent even in the same zip code after 3 miles of racing against Kim.) At the Nevada Union Invitational, Caitlin was 7th overall (2nd for small schools) with a 19:59 performance. Welcome to the team Caitlin! MAIRIN MELTVEDT - JUNIOR - ST. FRANCIS H.S. -Y.W. ('85-'86) Coach Ducray tried to bring his fine first- year runner along slowly last year, but Mairin Meltvedt had other ideas. After winning the Div 3 sophomore race at the competitive Mt. SAC Invitational last year by 43 seconds, Mairin was inserted into the starting 7 and theres no way St. Francis would have been section champions, much less state champions, without Mairins gritty, hard-nosed running the rest of the year. Mairin was 13th in Div 3 at Subsections last year, 19th at Sections, and broke through with a clutch 19:16 5k effort in the State Meet to finish even ahead of Katie Hartman. Her fine running has continued this season and we are awfully glad to call her a Buffalo Babe. Welcome Mairin!! Friday, April 25 3 GREAT RUNNERS join the Babes GREAT NEWS !!!!!! Three outstanding runners have recently committed to the Intermediate Girls ('87'88) Buffalo Babes for the 2003 XC Junior Olympics. * Cecily Lemmon, currently a freshman at Vacaville HS, was first team All-City and is one of, if not the top distance freshman in the entire Sac Joaquin section. She was the 4th fastest freshman in the state at Woodward Park. Cal Track and Running News named her the 2002 Northern California Cross Country Freshman of the Year. * Kaitlin Gregg is a rapidly improving track and CC runner who is a sophomore at Davis HS. Her dad Bill is the head XC coach at DHS so she never has to go far for advice. Kaitlin is also a pretty darn good swimmer, soccer player, and water polo athlete. * Cherise McNair of Sierra High School, the 9th fastest freshman in the state in 2002, is a Buffalo Babe. Running in Div. 3, Cherise had times of 19:00 at State (19th), 3rd at Sections (18:54), and 7th at Subsections (19:00). She made the CTRN NorCal All-Frosh team. * All three runners are quality, enthusiastic people who will surely give the Buffalo Babes a huge infusion of talent and energy. Welcome to the team ladies, we're glad to have you.
Thursday, May 22 LIZ WAGNER joins the Babes The Chips proudly announce that Liz Wagner, a sophomore at Del Oro HS, has accepted an invitation to run at the Junior Olympics with the Buffalo Babes. Liz nearly got her Del Oro team to the state meet by finishing in 10th at sections (19:37) and then exploded at the State Meet to a 5th Place finish (18:27), just getting outkicked in dramatic fashion by Buffalo Babe Kim Crouch. What a way to finish the season! Liz was then named 2nd team All-City. Want to make Liz even faster? Just add water. Liz finished 2nd in the entire Sac Joaquin section in the 100 yard backstroke and 500 yard freestyle in All-American times. She even qualified for the US Open swim meet. On Dec. 13, we'll dry her off and let her loose on the cross country course in New Mexico. Glad to have you with us Liz, and by the way, our hotel in Albuquerque has a pool.

Tips for running your best: *Listen to your body. Easy days should never drag. If you feel horrible, take a day off and wait until you feel good. *Take advantage of the days you feel good by using them as hard days and taking an easy day or a day off later. You will get the most out of your training this way. *To maintain a higher mileage program, break up your days into doubles as often as possible. It usually works best to do the harder workout in the morning and then using the evening to shake out the legs. There is no such thing as junk mileage because a second easy run on soft surfaces during the day can actually increase healing by increasing blood flow to the legs. When doing the second run of the day, focus on a light quick turnover and good form. *Always eat within 45 minutes after running and eat half of an energy bar before your morning runs (not too late). *Stick to a diet full of protein and whole grain this extends to all carbohydrate products, rice and crackers. Brown rice is best and whole-wheat crackers as well. Drink lots of water all the time, not just before races. *Remember that the best runners in the nation were not just born that way...they each train extremely hard in addition to their talents. Just think of how that kind of training could help you. *Jamba Juice may have fruit, but its bad for you lots of sugar=insulin spike=sleepy runner. Drink the small size and make sure you get something hearty to go with it (complex carbohydrate or protein). Why the Kenyans are good: They train at altitude They have a low glycemic diet (comparable to if you mainly ate oatmeal, salad, milk, and chicken). They sleep A LOT!!! For example an average Kenyan might sleep 9 hours/night and take a 3 hour nap each day ..12 hours total!!! They rest after each season, allowing themselves to gain some weight that they gradually burn off over the course of the season this works particularly well for those who have trouble keeping ON the pounds during the season. They have had ample amounts of physical activity since a young age. They are humble and to their talking with their feet. Good Luck!

The women won the team tile by a narrow one point margin (27-28) over SCIAC rivals Pomona-Pitzer. * UCSB Gauchos: The Gauchos placed fifth on the 5,000m course that circled Central Park in Huntington Beach, CA. Another freshman and racing in uniform for the first time, Danielle Domenichelli finished 34th as the Gaucho's third runner in 19:33.6. * UC Davis/Sac State: Dominic Vogl finished 21st to lead the Sacramento State mens cross country team and Erin Wachter was 30th to pace the women at the Aggie Cross Country Open Saturday morning at Wildhorse Golf Course.

She had a great summer of training and is showing early signs of someone who may run in our top seven. NCAA SCHOOL XC LISTINGS & 2006 finishes
Region- Mtn = Mountain, SC = South Central, NC = North Central. If not listed, region is West. 2004 Wrap-Up of Alumni and Notables DALLON WILLIAMS - TURLOCK HS '03 - WASHINGTON Huskies What a year! Dallon was named First Team All-Pac 10. She was the #1 Husky and 7th overall at Pac 10 championships in Golden Gate Park with a time of 21:10. (Dallon was also 7th at D1 State Meet in 2002 and 7th at Junior Olympics in Atlanta). She was then 17th at Western Regions at Woodward Park (#2 UW girl) with a 6k time of 21:18. At NCAA's in Terre Haute IN, she was #2 Husky and 124th overall (22:12) in a very, very fast field. In October, Dallon had run 21:29 on that same Indiana State course for the fastest 6k time of her career...until Pac 10's. Thanks to some "ballot stuffing" by the Buffalo Babes and others, Dallon was also voted U-Dub female athlete of the week earlier in the season! CAITLIN MORGAN - UNION MINE HS '03 - UC SANTA BARABARA Gauchos It doesn't appear Caitlin ran in any meets in 2004, but she is listed on the roster. In 2003 for UCSB, she ran 19:04 5k at the UCSB Lagoon Open and clocked a 19:04.4 5k at the Riverside Invitational. TINA FIROUZ - BENICIA HS '03 - UC SAN DIEGO Tritons Tina was 7th for her team at the Triton Invite (4th for UCSD) with a time of 24:25. She was 23rd overall at the CCAA league finals (8th for UCSD) with a time of 21:38. A bit frustrated finishing behind her own teammates whom she had beaten all last year, Tina was held out of the West Regionals. But because she was the #1 UCSD girl (23:32) at the September pre-national meet in Indiana (the site of the D2 NCAA's), Tina was inserted back into the starting line-up and she came through at nationals with a time of 24:10 (#2 Triton, 73rd overall). As a freshman back in 2003, Tina reached the All-American D2 plateau and was named the CCAA freshman of the year. She hopes to rebound a little more in the coming track season. MARIYA TOWNSWICK - WOODLAND HS/LAKE TRAVIS HS '04 - TEXAS Longhorns Mariya's best 6k time of the year was 22:34. She is currently prepping for the indoor track season. The Texas Longhorns were 4th in 2004 at the Div 1 outdoor track champs. (UCLA women were 1st with 69 pts., LSU had 68, Nebraska had 58.) As you might remember in late fall 2003, Mariya transferred to Lake Travis HS in Austin and finished 18th in the state 4A race with a 2-mile time of 12:00. Her HS was 4th in the state. She was an All-American for the Buffalo Babes in 2002. AMANDA BURKHARDT - PONDEROSA HS '04 - UC SAN DIEGO Tritons Amanda's 2004 finishes: Amanda was 6th for UCSD/45th overall at the Willamette Invitatiional. BETHANY GARDNER - DEL ORO HS '04 - LONG BEACH STATE 49ers Bethany's 2004 finishes: "The Beach" won the UC Riverside Invitational as Bethany ran 18:41 for 5k and was 4th on the team, 24th overall. At Big West finals she came in 4th on the team, 48th overall. Her 22:36 was the 9th fastest 6k time ever for a 49er. She moved up to the #3 49er woman at the Div 1 Western Regionals (118th overall) with a time of 23:09. CAITLIN CROALL - LINCOLN-L HS '04 - OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE The best part of Caitlin's year may have been a trip to the Big Wave CC Invitational in Hawaii. She was 7th on Oxy and 60th overall with a time of 18:17. At the SCIAC Multi-Duals she was again #7 on Oxy but moved up to #5 girl at the Div 3 Western Regionals, 80th overall, with a time of 26:27. KATIE HARTMAN - ST. FRANCIS HS '04 - AMERICAN RIVER COLLEGE Beavers Katie ran 3 XC races for ARC helping the team qualify for the JuCo state meet. But her main sport was soccer. She started on defense and AR had one of their best seasons ever, going 20-2-2 and qualifying for the state Final 4 where they beat the four-time defending state champions - Long Beach City College - in the semifinal game. Long Beach had a 74 game unbeaten streak until AR put an end to that. AR lost in the title game to Cypress College but they were still ranked 3rd in the nation for Junior Colleges in the final poll. Katie was voted Team MVP by her teammates and was chosen first-team All-Conference by the coaches. RACHEL BRYAN - LAGUNA CREEK HS '04 - TULANE Green Wave Rachel Bryan Named Louisiana Female Runner and Freshman of the Year Excerpt: "A native of Elk Grove, Calif., Bryan was the Green Wave's top finisher in every race this year, including four top 10 finishes. She won the 67-runner Tulane Invitational and the 78-runner Southern Miss Invitational while finishing in 10th place at the 154-runner Notre Dame Invitational 5K with a time of 18:30. Bryan finished 28th at the NCAA Regional 6K race with a collegiate best time of 21:50." Rachel was also 22nd at the Conference USA Championships with a 6k time of 22:38. CAITLIN CHOCK - GRANITE BAY HS '04 - PROJECT OREGON By now, you know that Caitlin Chock has turned pro after signing a contract with Nike. She is now living in West Hills, Oregon near Portland with Molly and Alberto Salazar and taking some classes at Portland State. Salazar is a two-time Olympian and a former winner of the Boston ('82) and NY ('80,'81,'82) marathons. He also held the WR in the marathon for a while. Caitlin had an unbelievable summer training under Leonard Sperandeo winning Sacramento's Golden West Inv. 3200m with a mind-boggling 9:58 (#3 All-Time!) and breaking the American record for junior women in the 5K with another shocking time of 15:52 on the track in Grosseto, Italy. Caitlin started the fall at University of Richmond but it wasn't the right situation and returned home. The opportunity to train with the very elite Project Oregon squad surfaced and it was an opportunity too good to pass up. Mom Linda reports everything is going great and we are really looking forward to seeing Caitlin show her stuff at the Feb 12 US Cross Country Championships in Portland where Caitlin will have a chance to race against her former team, the Buffalo Babes!, and some of the nation's finest junior women at the World CC qualifier. With her energetic personality and million dollar smile (or is it million dollar contract?? hehe), it's impossible not to root for Caitlin. NATALIE WHITE - H. JOHNSON HS '04 - UCLA Bruins Natalie is redshirting at UCLA this cross country season, and maybe track season, too. Natalie considered Columbia, Notre Dame, and even passed on a nice offer from USF, but really wanted to go to UCLA. Natalie is best remembered for her brilliant 17:30 at the Stanford Invitational in 2002 which was the 2nd fastest time of the day, but also 2nd in the D2 race. The winner: who else? Caitlin Chock. The good news is that the stomach problem that plagued Natalie seems to have completely dissipated and it will be exciting to see if she can get back to that awesome junior-year form. 2003 College News/Results Former Buffalo Babe Tina Firouz is 2003 CCAA Freshman of the Year! 2003 NCAA NATIONALS DIVISION 2 - SAT NOV 22 - Cary, N.C.

Tuesday, May 6 DDub signs with UDub Buffalo Babe and Turlock HS senior standout Dallon Williams has signed with the University of Washington Huskies. Dallon was 2nd in Div 1 behind Rachel Bryan at Sections, 7th at State, and 7th at Jr Olympics (YW age group). Dallon was interested in Fresno State, Nevada-Reno, Idaho, and Hawaii and had full ride offers from most of those schools but decided on a 70-75% offer from UW because it was important to be in the PAC 10 Conference. We wish Dallon the best and she always is welcome on our roster. Go Dallon Go.
