i drove out to the soccer park to cover the bc invite. i missed the college girls race but did see the college boys race. when i find results, i will post them.
it was nice to see many local athletes running for BC. i recognized former liberty, golden valley, west and mcfarland runners on the team. i am sure there were others that i missed.
the last race of the day was the open 5k, with a large number of high school teams running in it.
tesfa of west won with a clocking under 17 minutes followed by brant of centennial.
on the girls side, centennial took one two and ran under 20 minutes.
besides west and cenntenial: foothill, ridgeview, golden valley and liberty ran.
chris schwartz of foothill did not run. if i find results i will post them.
i think centennial won both the boys and girls races. ridgeview had a couple high finishers in the girls race too.
on the boys side, i tallied up the foothill vs liberty dual meet score and foothill beat liberty without schwartz and despite liberty going one two against foothill.

i asked for the high school results numerous times but never got them. HERE is a link to the college ones at least.

With the Stanford Invitational this weekend a couple of questions could begin to be cleared up. 1) Are there any challengers emerging to challenge Saugus and 2) what other team will step up to join the long jam of teams behind the Centurions?

1 Ventura (Ventura, CA) – In continuing to take a conservative approach (as it has done successfully in recent years) during the early season, the Cougars rested out a few top runners while placing second to bubble team Cabrillo at the Blue Lagoon Invitational. Ventura had a pair of runners place among the strong front-running crew of Cabrillo, with a bit of extrapolation from other team members in previous races giving insight that the Cougars definitely appear strong yet again.

The Life of the Chinese Gold Farmer
By JULIAN DIBBELL
It was an hour before midnight, three hours into the night shift with nine more to go. At his workstation in a small, fluorescent-lighted office space in Nanjing, China, Li Qiwen sat shirtless and chain-smoking, gazing purposefully at the online computer game in front of him. The screen showed a lightly wooded mountain terrain, studded with castle ruins and grazing deer, in which warrior monks milled about. Li, or rather his staff-wielding wizard character, had been slaying the enemy monks since 8 p.m., mouse-clicking on one corpse after another, each time gathering a few dozen virtual coins — and maybe a magic weapon or two — into an increasingly laden backpack.
