Trojans cross country
Senior Grant Odegard ran Buffalo Park’s 3-mile course in 17 minutes, 39.5 seconds to finish 26th Saturday at the Four Corners Invitational in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Pahrump Valley coach Erik Odegard said that while many Southern Nevada teams competed elsewhere, the Trojans, Arbor View, Moapa Valley and Liberty traveled to Arizona to run at more than 7,200 feet.
This year’s state championships will be in Northern Nevada, and running at altitude could help the Trojans down the road.
Senior Brandon Ruud finished 57th in 18:32.0, senior Renaldo Flores finished 114th in 20:10.5, junior Edson Roundy ran 138th in 21:17.5, senior Andrew Hope was right behind in 139th at 21:17.8, freshman Vincent Martinez placed 142nd in 21:28.4 and freshman Ulises Sotelo crossed in 21:36.0 for 144th. A total of 165 runners competed in the varsity race.
The Trojans finished 20th out of 25 teams in the event.
The Pahrump Valley girls struggled even more on the high-altitude course, finishing last among 16 schools. Sophomore Arianna Hamilton paced the Trojans, running 25:10.7 to finish 84th. The only other Trojan in the top 100 was senior Nrsringa Breathwaite at 97th in 26:06.9.
