Faith Makau ran her first State CC race today in Fresno on a beautiful November morning. She came through the first mile slightly fast in about 5:37 (she was in 30th place at this point). Coming through the 2.1 mile mark she had moved up to around 18th place. She finished with a strong kick, passing two other runners in the last 100m to place 15th, with a time of 18:26 (improving 50 seconds from 7 weeks ago on this course). She said that the race really kicked her butt. I'm proud of how hard she ran today...she can sleep well knowing she left everything out there. Next year I'll make sure that Faith is in a position to contend for the title.
