NORCO – To gauge the quality of runners who competed under the lights in the Woodbridge Cross Country Classic at the Silver Lake Sports Complex on Saturday night, a quick glance at the results in the showcase races is all the information needed.
The top 60 finishers in the boys sweepstakes race – the premier boys event in the two-day competition – completed the 3-mile course under the lights in under 15 minutes.
The top 26 finishers in the girls sweepstakes race finished in under 17 minutes.
Competing with that level of competition resulted in personal records for several Orange County runners.
In the boys rated race, which was just a notch below the sweepstakes class, Capistrano Valley’s Ty Savely finished first with a time of 14:43, a PR by at least 35 seconds.
“I think around the first mile, I was maybe ninth,” Savely said. “As we finished the first lap, I decided I better just go out right now. The crowd is crazy, always at this meet. I love the atmosphere.”
Brea Olinda and Capistrano Valley were fourth and fifth, respectively, in the rated race.
Laguna Beach’s Sebastian Fisher (14:38.8) and Ryan Smithers (14:40) finished 30th and 34th, respectively, in the boys sweepstakes, helping the Breakers finish 10th overall and first among county schools.
Trabuco Hills’ Josh O’Neil finished 15th in the sweepstakes race and was the top county finisher.
Several county girls turned in respectable performances in their sweepstakes race.Mission Viejo’s Kelli Hines (16:49) was 16th overall and first among county runners.Hanna Catsimanes of San Clemente finished 17th in 16:50.8.
A week after winning the Division 3 race for juniors at the Laguna Hills Invitational in 17:53.3, Costa Mesa’s Diane Molina ran 17:00.3 to finish 28th.
“The race was pretty crowded,” Molina said. “I kind of twisted my ankle at the first one-and-half. It was kind of mental thing trying to push through the pain. I liked the competition. It was kind of fun to run with the best in the state.”
Many of the county runners who were at the Woodbridge Classic will be competing again next week at the Dana Hills Invitational.
UCLA dropped to 0-3 on the 2018 season with a disappointing 38-14 loss to Fresno State on Saturday at the Rose Bowl. The Bruins pulled within two in the second half only to see the Bulldogs run off 22 unanswered points. Here is how UCLA fans reacted to the loss on Twitter:

PASADENA — It seemed like UCLA had the Fresno State offense figured out.
After a rocky first quarter, the Bruins limited the Bulldogs to a solitary field goal in the second quarter, and just 30 yards of offense. Perhaps, UCLA had found some kind of answer that would allow for a Bruins comeback.
But once the second half began, that notion was put to rest. Fresno State added three more touchdowns, even if they were ultimately unnecessary in its 38-14 win over the Bruins (0-3).
The first half contained glimpses of promise for the UCLA defense. Fresno State managed 177 yards of total offense and just 54 on the ground. Given that the Bruins came into the game allowing an average of 186.5 rushing yards per contest, this was a positive sign.
“I told the guys, calm down, read your run-pass keys, have good eyes, and we just started to hustle,” UCLA defensive back Quentin Lake said. “I could see our weight room preparation stuff start to kick in.”
The second half was a different affair.
UCLA surrendered 243 yards of offense on 40 second-half plays. The Bulldogs rushed for 96 yards and converted five of seven attempts on third down.
After a punt on their first full drive of the third quarter, the Bulldogs strung together three consecutive touchdown drives of at least 51 yards.
The first was an eight-play, 73-yard march in which Fresno quarterback Marcus McMaryion picked the Bruins apart through the air before punching in a one-yard touchdown run.
Interceptions preceded the next two scoring drives for Fresno State, and UCLA head coach Chip Kelly said that that played a factor in his defense’s second-half performance.
“I think they were on the field too much. We have to hold on to the ball longer on the offensive side of the ball,” Kelly said.
The first-year UCLA coach then noted that the defense did itself no favors with penalties that prolonged Fresno State drives, such as a roughing-the-passer call against Lake.
“It extended the drive when we probably had them stopped,” Kelly said. “Those are things that when we watch tape, we’ve got to coach our guys up.”
The sophomore Lake assessed that the Bruins need to stop letting those miscues get to them mentally.
“I think overall as a team we could have a better attitude when we’re getting on the field and not get down on ourselves when sudden changes happen or the offense turns over the ball or defense gives up a big play,” Lake said. “It’s a big learning lesson, especially early in the season.”
Henry Holland vapes. And his favorite flavor is mint — which explains all the minty neon colors and the unexpected accessories he introduced.
“I just thought it’d be interesting to create some cool vaping accessories”, he said when asked about the e-cigs that poked out of body harnesses and neck pouches.
The first look, a bright orange power suit, had Holland’s front-row celebs nodding in approval — or maybe they were just head bopping to the up tempo soundtrack.
“I wanted to capture the increasing pace of life and this collection is about the woman who just got out of the shower and has to get to work, the gym, the office, or wherever,” he said.
While attention-grabbing cord-laced neon sandals were shown, there was not much newness to be seen elsewhere. His usual ripstop nylon sportswear pieces, track pants and parachute parkas made their rounds. Maybe Holland too, was in a rush?
