Cross Country: Riak breaks course record at Evergreen
September 8, 2006
Olympia, WA (September 6) – John Riak scored his
second win of the week at the Evergreen Dual Meet Wednesday. Riak
smashed the course record that he set last year by ten seconds to run an
exceptional 14:53. Saint Martin’s beat Evergreen 23-32 in the meet.
Also running their second solid meet of the week
were Robbie Wilbur, Steven La Londe, and Niwar Nasim who finished fifth,
sixth, and seventh respectively. Tristan Beach and Kevin Tober, who ran
course best times, rounded out the men’s team.
The women also performed favorably. Jessie Dunnam
led the Saint ladies finishing in second. Amy Layton had a great
finishing kick to come in third. A great run by Taylor Shipman landed
her in third, while Jessica Pendon, Krinda Carlson, Chelsi Claussen and
Kaleigh Bishop also finished in the top ten.
The Saints will be back in action September 15th
when they travel to Notre Dame to compete in the National Catholic
Championships.
