Violette clocked 18 minutes 17 seconds, to establish the record on the challenging 5-Kilometer course, while both Santee and Unruh ran to personal-best times of 20:51 and 21:04.
The Falcons battled passionately to capture the Men’s team title with 31 points, ahead of Victory Christian in second with 36 points, followed by Foresthill in third (56 points).
Backing up Violette, Santee, and Unruh for the Falcon men was Dawson Young who placed 11th, Amos McCamey, placing 12th; followed by David Herron and Joshua Long in places 14th and 18th.
In the Women’s Race, the Falcons’ Christa Weisman won easily in 22:03, also a course-record on Foresthill’s 5k trail, while Lia Hegarty finished 3rd in a personal-best time of 24:48, after battling Eleah Miner of Victory Christian throughout the entire race. Miner managed to hold on to the second spot in 24:07; however, with Annie Pearce’s 10th place finish for the Lady Falcons, Forest Lake Christian solidified first place in the team standings, ahead of Victory Christian and Foresthill.
“We came to the line a little tired after racing last Saturday’s Bret Harte Invitational, but our runners definitely retained their competitiveness today among the CVC League squads, and they continue to set benchmarks for future Falcon runners,” said Forest Lake Christian Coach Nick Vogt.
The Falcon’s next competition will be the Yuba-Sutter Invitational in Marysville on Friday, September 26. Over 25 Northern California teams will compete over the challenging Riverfront Park 5-kilometer course, with the Women’s race beginning at 3:45, followed by the Men’s race at 4:15.
