The frontrunners in the varsity race were senior Mason Ratkovich, junior Anthony Stone, and seniors Roberto Ruelas and Hudson Godfrey, who placed first, second, third, and fourth, respectively.

Head Coach Lalo Diaz said, We have a huge meat this Saturday, the Mt. SAC invitational, and we've been invited to run in the sweepstakes, which is a combination of division one and two schools. This cluster meet was a good little tune up as to what we have to do early in the race, and I think our boys are getting their heads prepared for the mental strain of having to run such an important race.”

The Mt. SAC invitational takes place this Saturday, October 20th, at Mt. San Antonio College.
