distance aces

Those 700 miles logged on terrain and trails over 10 weeks during the summer -- all alone. Well worth it for Trye Johnson, who finished second at the State Division IV cross country finals in Fresno over the weekend.
Johnson is just scratching the surface with his potential. A full season of training saw his times drop over a minute this year for Palma.
Look for Johnson to be a threat on the track this spring in the 3,200 meters.
You can't help but wonder how good Stevenson's Annie Lee would be if she put more than three months into cross country. The junior finished third at the State Division IV girls finals.
Lee, whose passion is soccer, is a sprinter in track, where she was a CCS finalist in the 400 two years ago. But her time of 18:43 over the 3.1 mile loop was nearly 40 seconds faster than what she had previously run on a course of similar distance.
Lets see -- 400 meter speed with that kind of endurance. Can you say 800 meters in track?
