Brown talked about the results in an email to the News-Press.
“The boys knew today was the day they needed everything to come together,” the coach said. “I’m very pleased with their teamwork.
“Eamon ran a strong race for his first time on this course, sticking with the front pack even after a punishing first mile pace before the hills. Luci really stepped up his game and ran one of his best races of the season, followed by strong performances by Orlando, Edward, and Tyler to take them through to the finals,” Brown said. “I’m also incredibly proud of our newer runners, freshman Andy Brennan, and sophomore Dominic Corral. Mt. SAC is a big stage for them to learn to race and they accepted the challenge.”
“DP girls came into the race ranked 5th in D3 and raced to 5th place overall. They did what they needed to do today to ensure a strong performance next week at the finals,” the coach said. “Sarah Dent ran a fantastic race, regaining our No. 2 spot on the team and finishing steps behind Phoebe.”
“It was a proud couple of days for Channel League and fun to see San Marcos and Santa Barbara boys pass through to finals as well,” Brown said.
