The men's 8000 meter race is set for 11:15am and the women's race follows at 12:45pm. The Falcon men are currently ranked #2 in the country and are ready to run their best of the season. Coach Judy Wilson likes that the team is excited for this opportunity to showcase their talent. The seven runners vying for a national title are: Andy Martinez (4th at 2020 National championship); the Freshman trio of Sebastion Hernandaz, Christain Ruocco, and Mitchell Curtis; and the Tohopekaliga High School Triplets of Adolfo Castro, Jedary Ayala, and Richard Lebron.
