The league season began on Wednesday October 5 at Spring Lake. And with the onset of the North Bay League Meets we begin to recognize our Panther Runners of the Week.
Boys: David Tran. David, a senior, improved his Spring Lake by 14 seconds against Maria Carrillo and Rancho Cotate on Wednesday October 5. David followed that up with a first ever Varsity race at the Castro Valley Invitational on Saturday October 8. David never wavered during the tough hilly Castro Valley course but held his position throughout against seasoned Varsity runners from all of the other schools. David showed great determination in his Varsity debut and did himself and his team proud. Way to go David.
Girls: Emma Pierson. Emma, a freshman, improved her Spring Lake time by 43 seconds against Carrillo and Rancho on Wednesday October 5. She then came back the following Saturday at Castro Valley to lead the JV girls to a third place finish earning a team plaque and medals for the top 7 JV girl runners. Emma finished 6th overall in the race. She was 12th going into the final hill and came out 6th. Obviously the hills are to Emma's liking. Emma showed confidence in her hill running ability and also a true fighting spirit throughout the race. Good on ya Emma.
