On a chilly Sunday morning, Saint Patrick’s Day, Nico Frias and Isaac Gomez ran the 2013 L.A. Marathon. Morning is not being used lightly, they started at 7:30 a.m. and were done by 10:30 a.m.; their time 3 hours 10 minutes. They are runners by nature as their training is always on going. They run Cross Country with Fillmore High School and are currently on the track team. It should be mentioned that both boys do very well in their studies. How do they do all this; the only answer can be “they are young”. Isaac is 17, a senior at FHS, and it is his second marathon. Nico is 16, a junior at FHS and this is his fourth marathon; first was when he was 13. They ran with Students Run L.A. hence the neon green singlet. Congratulations to both boys!!

The Flashes produced Jamie Valdovinos at 152 pounds. This was another fast paced match with both wrestlers fighting for control of their opponent.

Team score 30-18.

Final Team score Flashes 48 – 36 over Faith Baptist.

The Flashes will next travel to Santa Paula on 1/24/13 for the always hotly contested match up. Coach Ponce said that the annual match against Santa Paula “is always a tough contest”. “We’ll need to start fast and be aggressive against the Cardinals” said Coach Ponce. When asked about tonight’s victory Coach said, “We have a young team, with holes in several weight classes, but for a young team we hold our own. Tonight we needed our team leaders to step up and they did. They kept their cool and got the job done”.

Go Flashes.
