Toros Cross Country Joust With Roadrunners at Cal State Bakersfield Invite
September 23, 2006

Carson, CA - Senior Valarie Tucker (Downey, CA/El Camino College) led the charge with a time of 20:55 (6th), and all members of the CSUDH women’s cross country team lowered their respective times from the previous meet, as the Toros battled the Roadrunners in a two school challenge at the 5k Cal State Bakersfield Invite.

Teammates Brittany Masai (Torrance, CA/West High School) and Kelly Corral (Long Beach, CA/Cerritos JC) would be right on the heels of Tucker, finishing with identical times of 20:56, grabbing them a 7th and 8th place finish, giving the Toros three runners in the top-10.

As a team, it would be difficult for CSUDH to match up with CSUB, as the Roadrunners filled up most of the running trail with their 35 runners to the Toros eight.

Other CSUDH results are:

• Pamela Gonzalez: 21:47 (12th)
• Victoria Radke: 23:36 (17th)
• Alexandria Anderson: 26:02 (27th)
• Dorothy Andrews: 26:14 (28th)
• Anna Hernandez: 26:36 (29th)

The Toros women’s cross country team will next be in action on Saturday, September 30, at the UC Riverside Invite, with the gun set to go off at 8:30 am.
