Team tuning up at invitational
As a tune-up for next week’s Pac-10 championships, the
women’s cross country team will compete in today’s
low-key Titan Invitational in Fullerton.
With the exception of freshman Valerie Flores, who is resting
her legs, UCLA’s top runners will be in the race.
Seniors Tina Bowen, Katie Nuanes and Gina Donnelly, junior
Bridie Hatch, and sophomores Kelly Grimes, Melissa McBain and Julia
Barbour will compete. Also running are junior Alynda Franco,
sophomore Ysanne Williams, and freshmen Michelle Barrack, Jessica
Marr and Tiffany Burgess.
In the meantime, the men’s team will rest most of its top
athletes, including junior Bryan Green and senior Mason Moore, who
led the Bruins to a fourth-place finish at last week’s
Wolverine Interregional in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Running today for the men will be senior team captain Scott
Abbott, senior Jonathan Lee, juniors Andrew Wulf, Justin Patananan
and Martin Brix, and sophomore Phil Young.
The women’s 5000m race starts at 4:30 p.m. and the
men’s 8000m competition begins at 5 p.m. at the Cal State
Fullerton campus.
