"We struck gold mid-year getting Patrick and Jacob. They were trained well at Aptos and know how to compete. Patrick proved himself as one of the best runners in the state making the 1500 final and getting the State "A" mark under the shortest timeline for qualifiers. He's got the range from 800 through 5k to become a cross country All-American in his first season."
