meet was won by Azusa Pacific University who totaled 45 team
points. CSUDH finished with 314 points and had a team time average
of 24:13.
KEY EXPERIENCE TO PUSH TOROS
Lack of experience should not be a problem for the CSUDH cross
country squad this season, as the Toros roster features seven
seniors out of 11 athletes. The remaining four players do not lack
in the experience department either, coming into the 2002 season
as juniors.
HERNANDEZ AT THE HELM
Aracne Hernandez, who has been with the Toros since her freshman
campaign in 1999, has proved this season that she is ready to lead
the Toro pack across the finish line this year. Hernandez was the
Toros top runner on September21, clocking in with a time of 20:24.
