WOMENS DISTANCE
The Hornets went to Skyline High for a long invitational meet on 3/6. The distance girls ran in the 800m run and had some great times. Newcomer Kelly Hosokawa edged out last year's best 800 girl Adrienne Pena by 4 tenths of a second (2:40.62 to 2:41.02) going one/two in their heat in a great final sprint, closely followed by sprinter Courtney Winterbauer (who has considerable distance talent) in 2:45.53, Irene Xu in 2:47.72, Rebeckah Vitucci in 2:48.37, Jessica Burns in 2:49.75, Dominica Vitucci 2:55.67 and first time racer freshwoman Kelsey Reed in 3:07.08. Alameda hasn't had 6 sub 2:50 800 runners in one race for quite awhile so this effort is very exciting. After waiting about 2 and a half hours to run the 800, all the same girls ran in the distance medley relay 2 plus hours later and took 3rd and 4th in that race with Irene, Coutney, Adrienne and Kelly taking 3rd in 14:46.92 and Dominca, Kelsey, JB, and Rebeckah in 4th with the time of 15:46.41. Sandwiched between the 800s and the DMR, Lindsi Tu and Hannah Klein ran a grueling 3200m and both did well with times better than last year's team at this time of the year. Hannah ran 14:09.35 and Linsi ran 14:09.46---both getting a good start on the season. Good work girls!~ Coach Bruce

Joe Stocking Invitational (Distant Team @ DVC)
WOMENS DISTANCE
I took nine distance girls out to the Joe Stocking invitational at Diablo Valley College to run in some relay races and we did well as everyone won at least one medal. We ran in the Frosh/Soph girls division and took 3rd and 4th in the distance medley relay race. The two teams were comprised of sophomore Jessica Burns running the 1200m leg, sophomore Courtney Winterbauer the 400 leg, soph Adrienne Pena the 800 leg and soph Rebeckah Vitucci the 1600 leg taking 3rd place and soph Hannah Klein 1200,soph Isabella Hamilton the 400, frosh Emma Fraser the 800 and soph Lindsi Tu the 1600 on the team that won 4th. In the 4x800 relay Irene Xu joined us and helped our first team to a second place while our 2nd team was 6th. Adrienne led off in a time of 2:45, Irene ran 2:50.8, Rebeckah ran 2:52.5, and Courtney ran 2:45 in the anchor position, the other team had Lindsi running 2:58.5, Jessica 3:03.6, Bella 3:10.1, and Hannah 2:57.45---all excellent times for the first serious race of the season. Thanks to Courtney and Bella for being mainly sprinters and coming to help our distance teams out---they are both good and willing runners and welcomed by us all.~ Coach Bruce
