It's getting harder to keep with with all the out-of-state excursions Colorado teams are making these days.
When I was putting up the top freshman boys marks article, I noticed a California time for Elijah DeLaCerda in the 3200. One thing led to another, and soon I found myself sitting on a pile of results for Alamosa from last weekend's Russel Cup out of Carpinteria, CA.
Clearly, Alamosa found a means of defeating Colorado's weekend weather.
Among the highlights for the Mean Moose were a 16.18 100 hurdles for Jessica Archuleta, a 53.15 400 for freshman Chad Jackson, a 2:01.94 800 for Oscar Martinez, a 4:39.15 1600 for Chad Palmer, a 9:46.50 3200 for Isaiah DeLaCerda, and, of course, the 10:18.07 for Elijah DeLaCerda. That's not exactly the same as a 10:18 here in Colorado, but it is the best freshman 3200 time of the year for a Colorado athlete.
