The CSUB cross country team hosted the 5K Roadrunner Invitational last Saturday afternoon. Despite not taking the team or the individual title, the Roadrunners lined the course with personal and collective improvement.
1. Arianna Celis and Casey Glasey continue to establish themselves as the team's top runners. Celis ran a personal best time of 18:30.20. That time is almost 29 seconds faster than any mark turned in last season by a member of the CSUB team. Glasey's 18:32.60 also clear's 2008's best mark by nearly 17 seconds.
2. Lina Nuñez also took a step forward this past weekend, finishing third on the team in 19:33.20. That's over a five second improvement from last season's race and marks the first time this season she has ducked under 20 for the season.
3. True freshman Cecilia Lopez has also been fairly consistent in the middle of the pack in 2009. She has already broken 20 minutes at 5K and is picking up quality experience in highly competitive meets.
4. Despite taking a small step backwards at the meet, sophomore Judith Mata has made a great stride forward in 2009. Mata has already broken the 20 minute barrier twice, a feat that she was unable to accomplish as a freshman. Her 19:24.7 at the UC Riverside Invitational is the team's third fastest individual time of the year.
