Ed Sias InvitationalSeptember 13, 2008 For the boys, their weekend was incomplete. Without their full squad able to run, the Panthers sent a couple athletes to Ed Sias in search of individual success. Junior Dan Maxwell made sure the treasure was found, running a very fine 10:28 on a course that saw school record-holder Matt Duffy run only 12 seconds faster. Junior Tony Levine was also impressive, running 10:51 for 17th. Two Freshmen, Duncan Calvert and Stevie Greene, also ran well, each covering the rolling, hilly two mile course in a swift 12:25. Results can be found on the schedule page under the Ed Sias listing. Next up for the Panthers is the Farmer Invitational at Hayward High School this weekend. See you there! Margot Sullivan, Ashley Davis, Alice Baker, Hannah Brumbaum, Izzy Smull, Taylor Lawson and Alex Choy after their convincing win at the Ed Sias Invite.

Sacred Heart Cathedral Scrimmage ResultsSeptember 11, 2008 For the boys, strong performances were displayed by Juniors Eddie Hill, Angus Sidore, Dan Maxwell and Tony Levine. Freshmen Duncan Calvert, Stevie Greene and Nate Hill continue to impress, all covering the 2 mile course in fine fashion. Overall, the event was great. Parents brought food and drinks for the athletes after the meet, prizes (t-shirts, shoe bags, socks, etc.) were raffled, and the meet culminated with a much-anticipated race between Sacred Heart’s vice-principal, Mr. Cannon, and our own Mr. Imperial. As the Panthers saw it, Mr. Imperial edged him out in the end for a well deserved victory. You can see all the results below. This Saturday the Panthers travel to Martinez for the annual Ed Sias Invitational. Over 1900 athletes are entered into the meet.

Time TrialsAugust 29, 2008On Thursday, Tilden Park was smoking! Not only did it seem like the hottest day of the year (Temp: low 90’s), but the Cross Country team made it even hotter! Thursday was the much-anticipated season-opening Time Trial. The Time Trial kicks off the competitive racing season for the Panthers. This event dates back 10 years with the inaugural run staged in 1999. Records, All-Time lists and bragging rights are part of what makes this event special. This years’ event was amongst the best ever. No less than 18 athletes broke the top 10 all-time in their respective grades. Leading the way was the junior class, with seven athletes amongst the best of all-time. Next were the seniors and the freshmen with five athletes each, followed by the sophomores with one. Overall, 48 athletes competed, making the coaches have 48 different reasons to smile. Congratulations to all those who sweated out the 1.85 mile course! Next up for the Panthers is the Monte Vista Invite on Tuesday, September 2nd at Oakhill Park in Danville. First race is at 4:00 pm. You can find a link below for full time trial results.
