EARLY SEASON ACTION
Rubidoux and Beaumont met up for a very early season friendly where Beaumont got the nod here on both sides. Rubidoux rested their #1 on the boys' side as the score would have been reversed if had won. Rubidoux's Raymundo Rodriguez brought home the win along with Beaumont's Jazmin Romero. Meanwhile, on Thursday, Corona drove over to nice and cool Pacific coastline to take on the nationally ranked Palos Verdes and Saugus crews, along with some strong groups from Mira Costa and Peninsula. Definitely having their work cut out for them, they held their own for the most part as Corona rested some top scorers. To say the least, it was an eye opening experience run on what some consider to be the toughest course in California (16:30 is the boys' 3 mile course record) and usually 90-110 seconds slower than Mt. SAC.
A number of Riverside County athletes traveled down to compete at the Sunrise in the Park Invite, over at Central Park in Huntington Beach. La Quinta sophomore, Megan Huebner rolled to an 18:44 victory in the high school girls' division. On a course that features times that run similiar to the Mt. SAC course, this is a nice start for the young Huebner, who is coming off one of the finest Track seasons in county history for any girl (set the county record in the 800m and new freshman record in the 1600m).
Roosevelt's two new additions validate why they are ranked #4 in the county here in the preseason. Junior Kyle Warrick (played water polo the past two seasons) and incoming freshman Jeremy Beck both rolled to 16:39's. Planted in there behind Nick Woolf and Aaron Potts, along with a sub-17 minute freshman from last year and you have a solid group that can truly challenge for the Big VIII League Title here in 2011.
Rubidoux Head Coach, Keith Chann, has come to the rescue and did a great job providing us with some great insight on the all-county picks! Thank you so much Keith!
You will notice that we have moved all of our 2010 headlines over to the 2010 Highlights section in the left hand column. So, in looking for last year's results - go there.
