Miles Unterreiner, asSenior at Gig Harbor won the Sunfair invitational with a time of 15:13.1Miles Unterreiner talked to me about his first place at Sunfair, his race, his season , his plans.
Ruby went to Sunfair this weekend expecting to show up in the top 10.Looking over the top ten list of Saturdays’ race, this would appear to be a fair prediction.Ruby entered this race as a test to see how far and hard she could push herself.She discovered that running with a group of top athletes makes offers you what you need to become one also.
Sandra Martinez had it in mind to run fast on Saturday. So fast that no girl in Davis' history would have ever run faster in the Sunfair Invitational. That she came up a scant three seconds shy of that goal didn't turn out to be heartbreaking news for the junior cross country ace. Especially since she still contributed heavily to a piece of Pirates' history in the 34th annual meet at Franklin Park. With Martinez finishing fourth in a wickedly fast elite flight in a time of 18 minutes, 26 seconds — which would have won last year's race by nine seconds — Davis' girls earned the best team finish in school history with sixth place in the 100-team field.
Throughout the afternoon from one heated race to the next, three of the state's heavyweight boys cross country powers took their best swings at each other on Saturday. Nationally ranked Central Valley managed to survive the long day, but not without Gig Harbor and Eisenhower breathing down its neck every step of the way in the 34th annual Sunfair Invitational at Franklin Park.
