Saving the best for last, the Beavers turned in their best performance of the season to place second on the 4-mile course at Woodward Park in Fresno.  ARC was able to pass Diablo Valley, the NorCal winner, and Hartnell to finish behind Los Angeles Trade Tech.  Cristian Morinico led the Beavers with an 11th place finish, coming in at 20:57.  Ken Parnow finished 19th at 21:15.  Both Morinico and Parnow are freshmen.  Sophomores Jason Prado (21:36) and Jake Boeger (21:37) placed 36th and 39th, respectively, in the field of almost 190 runners.  The other ARC runners who helped the team take second overall were freshmen Jason Engler (65th place in a time of 21:57) and Paul Magletti (92nd, 22:17).

NorCal Championships 

The Beavers turned in a strong performance at the 96-man meet at Toro Park in Salinas. “The guys ran great,” said head coach Rick Anderson.  “We finished third, but at least we made the top two teams sweat a little.”  Only six points separated first and third place.  Three ARC runners earned All-NorCal honors by virtue of finishing in the top 14:  Cristian Morinico (sixth place in a time of 20:46), Jason Engler (11th, 21:14), and right behind him was Ken Parnow (12th, 21:15).  The Beavers’ squad was rounded out by Jason Prado (20th, 21:37), Jake Boeger (21st, 21:39), Paul Magaletti (26th, 21:52), and Tim Martin (37th, 22:17).
