CROSS COUNTRY

MARTINEZ, Calif. - Saturday, September 10, 2016
This year's 32nd Ed Sias Invitational at Hidden Valley Park had over 50 teams and 2900 runners competing in the 2-mile race. This race is on College Park's "home" course. Our very own 2015 Hall of Famer, Steve Nesheim, who coached at College Park for 15 years in cross country and tranck & field, designed the Hidden Valley Park cross country course and created the Ed Sias Invitational, named for College Park's other Hall of Fame coach and contributor Ed Sias, Sr. The Ed Sias course at Hidden Valley is one of the premier cross country courses in all of California.
At 9:00am the gun fired and 230 runners in just the Boys' Frosh Unlimited race took off down the grassy soccer field. The runners then made their way through mostly dirt trail, some paved pathways, a bridge crossing and up the almost verticle finale hill to the finish chute. Freshman
Alec Beyer ran a very respectable time of 13.31.9 to finish first for this group of Falcons. Also running their first race was
Bailey Keck (14:26.5),
Oliver Watts (14:36.5),
Kyle Pickle (15:01.0),
Clayton Hults (15:10.2) and to round off the freshman squad,
