Recap of Balboa 4-Miler

The defending Dirt Dog Champions have dominated with their second win of the season at the Balboa 4-Miler. While the team was still missing a few women, the woman managed to have a presence in the field. PRT women have established a reputation as a consistently dominant team and will continue to try and hold on to No. 1 this season. Click here for results : Balboa 4-Miler 2012.

Our first athlete Jenna Munguia came in second at 24:21 behind, Adidas/ Moving Shoes athlete Claire Rethmeier, at 24:03. Our next two athletes came in before Adidas/ Moving Shoes second athlete crossed the line. Hilary Corno, at 25:14 and Marie Schaper at 25:34. Caela Timinsky, 26:12 and Kristin Schleicher 26:35 rounded out our top five, as 7 and 8.

One of the trademarks of the PRT Women is the impressive depth of the group. The Prado Women were able to send out so many talented runners that if one or two had an injury or an off day, someone else would be able to fill right in without missing a beat. Look for the Prado Racing Women at the Bonita 8K on the 22nd!

Pictures to follow soon!

Champions are made in the Summer

The summer is now ending and fall is sneaking its way in, as Cross Country season has officially started for the Women's Prado Racing Team. The women have made their stance in the first race at the Wild Duck in Oceanside on August 25, 2012, at Guajome Park. The women dominated in the race, taking first place, without all of our women present. Marie Schaper came in at 18:00, followed by teammate Hilary Corno ( winner of the La Jolla Half Marathon 2012) at 18:14, as well as new teammate Mercy Ray at 19:07 in third. Kelcie Wiemann, 19:22, and Jordana Henderson, 19:35, rounded out the top five, with Becki McClintock close behind at 19:39.

Summer training has paid off as the PRT women let their presence be known. The hard work on the track and on the road during the blistering heat this summer was shown as these women have already had success in the first race.

Here are the results.

It was an awesome start to the season and the goal is to have continued success in the Dirt Dog series. Many of the women have begun to set goals for the season. Kristin Schleicher plans to continue running in the Dirt Dog series, but will also be training for the Cal International Marathon (CIM). Samantha Espindola is a new teammate who joined us last spring from USD. She also plans to prepare for a marathon, with a goal time of 2:50-3:00.

Other teammates are focused on getting through the Dirt Dog series and plan to have just as much as success as they did last year. The PRT women will be gearing up for the next race, the Balboa 4-miler, on September 1, 2012.
