A slow start by Pleasant Valley senior Christianne Kragel , duplicating a performance
that nearly cost her the 100m title, didn’t matter here as this much stronger athlete
used superior foot speed to catch than pull away from the field for a easy victory.

Yreka’s Nikki Wood goes out hard to open a sizable gap off the first turn. However
the gap becomes razor thin over Enterprise freshman Lindsey Kirschman heading into
the final turn. The rest of the field was totally over matched and is never a factor
in the race. Kirschman powers past Wood rounding the last turn and pulls away over the
final 100m to win by a huge three second margin. A pooped Wood manages to hold off a
fast closing Tiffany Harrison of Enterprise to take second.

All section entrants who have broken 2:20 this year toe the line with the understandable
exception of Carolyn Menard after her stunning 1600m victory. As expected, Chico’s Kayla
Silva and Lindsey Kirschman of Enterprise charge out hard with the Chico athlete setting
the early pace. Yreka’s Lauren Quinn, last year’s winner of this race, lags behind in third
while the rest of the field strains to stay close to her. Silva and Kirschman pull away from
the field early in the final circuit with Silva still trying to separate herself from her
younger (and supposedly less fresh competitor) as they move quickly down the back stretch.
However Kirschman, unleashing a devastating kick, accelerates past Silva rounding the final
turn and pulls away for surprisingly easy second victory of the day. Amazing when you consider
that the margin of victory in their two previous meetings (one each) were decided by less than
a second and the fact that her winning 400m performance was only twenty minutes earlier. Quinn
finishes a distant third.

Janessa Hoppe, last year’s 3200m winner from Enterprise, goes out hard with Yreka’s
Lauren Quinn and Carolyn Menard, also of Enterprise, close behind after a lap. Quinn
tries to stay close in lap two as Hoppe maintains her lead. Menard , sensing the pace
is too quick, lets them go. The third circuit finds Quinn paying for her early race
decisions as a reinvigorated Menard passes her. Meanwhile Hoppe continues to enlarge her
lead over her nearest rivals. Hoppe’s pace slows going back the backstretch the final
time, allowing an accelerating Menard to begin to reel her teammate in. Meanwhile Quinn
is toast and falls completely out of contention. Hoppe slows to a crawl as she moves
down the final straight away. When she mounts no challenge, Hoppe is easily passed by
her hard charging teammate about 30m from the finish, to hand Menard the victory. Well
back, and never in contention Paradise’s Lindsay Roberts, nearly catches a lumbering
Quinn at the tape but has to be content with fourth. A steady race allows Anderson’s
Julie Shaw to claim fifth.

Six of the eight runners stay close through 800m with Danielle Robberson, Yreka’s freshman entrant,
leading the pack. Natalie Collins from Corning drops first , followed by Paradise’s Camie Manwill and
finally Julie Shaw of Anderson as the lead pack’s pace proves too daunting. Pleasant Valley’s Katie
Moravec, now followed closely by Robberson and Enterprise junior Janessa Hoppe, takes over the lead
during the third circuit as a quick opening lap was following by a much more pedantic one. Robberson
retakes the lead on lap four, though Hoppe and Moravec remain close. No change in position occurs in
lap 5 but a gap develops during lap 6 as Moravec is unable to stay with the leaders. Hoppe remains
content to let Robberson lead until final lap where she finally takes control by pressing the pace down
the backstretch. She opens up a decent lead by the time she comes off the last turn, however a late fade
allows Robberson to nearly steal the race as the Yreka phenom, noticing a slowing of her competitor’s gait,
charges hard to the “finish” line. Moravec, finishing well back, is not pressed for third. Shaw, running
a steady race, takes fourth with Manwill further back grabbing the final medal with a seasonal best.

A Tim Nelson/Kenny Frank duel never materializes as both pass on the event, leaving
the field a bit thin and knowledgeable race observers most disappointed. Sutter’s Brian
Nelson takes control after some early jostling with Rudy Martinez (last year’s runner up
from Shasta), Yreka’s Ben Miller, Eric Webster from Enterprise and Austin Fritzke of Mt.
Shasta close behind. Only Corning’s Victor Silva is trailing badly early. The pack
remains tight through 800m with Nelson continuing to lead. Miller takes over during the
third circuit while Fritzke drops out the back of the pack. Miller and Martinez accelerate
away from the remainder contenders early in the final lap with Miller breaking his primary
challenger over the final 200m for a decisive victory. Nelson rallies to finish third while
Webster settles for fourth.

In his final race in the North Section, Tim Nelson runs one more impressive race all by himself.
He goes out in 4:29 (which would have placed him second in the 1600m race) then completes the
second half of the race in 4:36 (including a 61 second final lap) to win with a meet/stadium record
of 9:05.30. The race for second was more in doubt. A four way battle between Chico’s Russell Carroll,
PV’s Nathan Ogden , Modoc’s Scott Joyce and CV’s Robert Edsall developed after a couple laps of
trading places. Edsall did most of the pace work laps 3-5 with Ogden generally close behind while
Joyce, and especially, Carroll content to let others lead. Ogden took over pacing duties during laps
6-7 with Carroll and Edsall remaining close while Joyce fades heading into the final lap. A quick burst
puts Carroll even with Ogden while putting some daylight between him and Edsall. Carroll rushes by Ogden
to build a solid lead going down the backstretch and holds it through the final 200m to take second.
Ogden maintains his gap over Edsall for third. Joyce, though out of contention for second, never throws
in the towel and finishes strong to dip under 10:10 and claim the race’s final medal.

Zach Hall, also of Paradise and winner of the shorter hurdle race, takes the early
lead and continues to hold a decent, though hardly overwhelming margin over the rest
of the field heading into the home stretch. Chris Stevens, setting new Shasta school
records the past two weeks (at league and sub section) charges hard over the final
series of barriers to nip a surprised Hall at the tape.

A tight race with the eventual winner Enterprise trailing until a strong third
lap pulls them even with Paradise. Kenny Frank (Enterprise) duels Brandon Delgado
(Paradise) stride for stride down the back stretch before passing the 100/200 specialist
on the outside rounding the final turn. Frank makes a 49 look easy as he cruises to
a wide margin of victory. Delgado, looking as if he’s carrying a whole circus on his
back coming down the home stretch, is nearly caught by a hard charging LP team.
