First of 3.
Duroff is your leader, and then, uh, would be Mal Mavera of King is running right there with it. Landry from Adondo, Cortez who makes hope And Barajas with the brown barn banner. 7:29 and we blew off Sandra from McGregor. Great program. Looking at the Jack Shephard's best in the nation last year and one of the great schools we've ever seen when it comes to distance running. Great hope. They had a JV team in there as one of the best marks in the country last year. That's good stuff. I've just been spending it, but I'll pick it up. Nye has moved into third in Peninsula. Very contentious field, all three of these, as usual. Will be very good. Cortes moving into third. That's Fatima, Guido. Got a good pace going here. Look off and Cortes, Great Oak right there. Queen is right there also with— but they're up 73.8 on that second 2400. Krugoff, Cortez, Nivera, 1, 2, 3. Nye is 4th. Sounds like Bill Nye, but this would be a young lady by the name of Nick Nye. Landry. Right up front, we've got Cortes and Bluhoff. They are running well. 76'2" on that third carry. At this rate, I'll move out our program. Peninsula is still with the United, would be running in fourth. Die, Peninsula has moved into third.
