In his first year of XC, Daniel proved to be a big help to the Frosh/Soph team. It took him awhile to adjust to the hills and the longer distance, which are just a little bumpier than the track he prefers for his 400's, but he finished the season with several impressive races, especially at the Monterey Bay Invitational at Toro Park.

During track, he went on to run several strong 400's for the Frosh/Soph squad, and finished in 5th place at the League meet in that division.

We haven't been in touch with him this summer, so he's somewhat of a wild card going into the season, but he's always proven to be a dedicated athlete and hard worker, so we'd expect that he should show great improvement and bulid a good base for his junior track season where we might try to convince him to try a few 800's and even a 1600 - what do you think Daniel?
