OVER THE
HILLS THROugH THE
PARK On Sept. 11, Hidden Valley Park in Martinez played host to the first big cross-country meet of the season — the Ed Sias Invitational. It was the 26th running of the ESI, and it featured some of the top running programs throughout the North Coast Section. Among the race winners were: Monte Vista’s Matthew Yap (JV boys), Campolindo’s Dylan Laucher (Varsity boys-small school), Castro Valley’s Benjamin Eversole (Varsity boys-large school), St. Mary’s Spencer Moore (JV girls), Campolindo’s Carrie Verdon (Varsity girls-small school), and Granada’s Sophie Hartley (Varsity girls-large school). SportStars’ cameraman Bob Larson was on the scene to document it all.
